We spent multiple nights here, allowing venturing into archives (Marshall) or wandering through the city (me). Shops, flowers, interesting houses and churches captured my attention for many hours. Such fun!

| Haven't seen many pets -- this cat made herself quite evident. =) |
 |
| Railroad bridge -- more arches covering the water just to the right -- beautiful! |
 |
| Fries anyone? Lots of these sidewalk vendors offering poutine. |
 |
| Furniture store established in 1835. I bet the furniture has changed quite a bit over the years! |
Lunch at the bakery and cafe proved interesting. The only sandwich fillings left were ham / cheese or tuna -- and all of these that was left the baker piled high onto homemade fresh white bread.
Green tea for me and coffee for Marsh with delicious pastries (mine was lemmon, cherry for him...) The pics below hopefully give a glimpse of the choices to select.
The owner / baker / waitress / dishwasher was delightful. The cafe area had a very welcoming atmosphere with generosity abounding. The seating included 3 tables with 2 chairs to each, plus 7 or 8 stools at the counter. As we munched our sandwiches, patrons came in - many selecting bread or bakery items to take along - while others sat down at the counter and she brought their "usual". Several others stopped in for sandwiches, but when alerted that all lunch fixins were gone (except soup) the dietary selection changed to something that was on hand. One young lad took delight in a homemade bagel with cream cheese and jelly while his brother "sacrificed" with a mile shake. Note: The milkshake was a pint of flavored mile that he shook in the plastic bottle (with a lid, of course). Their mom savored a cup of creamy broccoli / white cheddar soup.
Later that afternoon we walked within a park.

| Originally, the area for the park housed mills at the water. |
 |
| The detail isn't really clear, but sitting on the rock in the center are about 8 goslings. |
 |
| Bird paradise it seems... |
