We escaped Montreal just as a brief cold snap was approaching. We arrived in Punta Cana (Dominican Republic) at 4 am and got to our all-inclusive at around 5am. This is us getting off the plane- what you don't see in this picture is the hundreds of Quebecers on their knees kissing the tarmac. Thanks GongGong and PoPo for the wonderful vacation!

What you can't see in this picture is Holden's portable DVD player playing Baby Einstein so that we could enjoy our dinner sitting in one place. This became the strategy towards the end of the trip.

Love the Plateau- Ann went to get our bike and store it indoors. Someone tried to steal our back tire and ended up just leaving our bike in a state of dis(re)pair.

This one is for Dave's benefit. Over the past year, I've had a couple of chance bump-ins with Dave over the internet- once while googling "Elvis Costello" and once while Dave was googling "Bumpershine." That's Dave below me one row and to my left.
