    Big Apple… Part I

    May 30, 2011 /

    I'm sure I commented on the great rush that everything has been this year. Yes yes, although I'm super immediate and in a way like things move quickly, I had to explain why I didn't comment on our latest lightning trip. The kind we do there, back and forth. Because we went to New York City once again, enjoying this holiday of Queen Victoria, which was May 23 (and Carol's birthday, ehhh! Inadmissible I do not comment on this illustrious fact, neh Carol… rsrs). Anyway, we decided that we would go to the states again to do some shopping for baby, but we took the opportunity to take a jump…

    Lake Placid – Part II

    April 7, 2011 /

    Even in places without great photographic potentials, we find a way to record things.. here goes part II (part I here) of the Lake Placid photos. At the foot of the mountain – Whiteface Mountain  Mountain still on the right  Ski jump on the left – high as hell.. the guys are dooooidos… I can’t understand how people have the guts to jump out of there… View from up there.. Visual Bobsled and skeleton We didn’t go down, but we got on the podium! (3rd place was not very happy with the result…) Back to the Olympic Center School Walk around Mirror Lake Residence on the shores of the lake…

    Weekend relax – Lake Placid – Part I

    April 5, 2011 /

    * Thank you friends for the happy birthday wishes! I love it saw! This last weekend, still remnants of my birthday, we went to spend a weekend relaxing in a hotel about 3.5 hours from here in Gatineau. The place is called Lake Placid, with about 2,600 inhabitants and is in the state of New York. Along the way, all quiet, but we passed places that looked like deserts, with abandoned houses and many collapsing… seemed straight from a horror movie… Hehe Lake Placid has hosted 2 winter Olympics (1932 and 1980) and is to this day, a destination for many winter sports lovers due to the infrastructure already created…

    New York City – finally – part III

    May 24, 2010 /

    Okay, following the photos of the trip, before I forget the details and accumulate many things (we already have photos of the tulip festival here from Ottawa and our visit to the war museum.. o/), there are pictures of our last day in the Big Apple. Early on we went on the NBC Tour and the observeatory there of the photo … We don't have any pictures of the NBC tour, because it wasn't allowed to record anything. High point of the tour for us: visit the studio of Saturday Night Live… mto legal.. At the top of the Rockfeller Center. I loved that view.  Here's my tip: If I…

    Philadelphia – PE

    May 23, 2010 /

    We decided in advance that on one of the days of the trip we would go to Philadelphia since Diego’s parents still didn’t know him and it’s only 1:30 a.m. from Manhattan, so Thursday was the day. This city is another one of those that you can go more than once and it’s always interesting. Despite having fewer things to see, compared to NY, the city of Philadelphia has a lot of history to tell and worth visiting (only refrusing, the city was the first American capital and was the scene of several important events during history, including independence statement was signed). Anyway… we didn’t get the city pass this…

    New York City – Part II

    May 18, 2010 /

    Hello Second day of sightseeing in New York was very intense, too bad the sun was not our companion of the day but our umbrellas. We bought the New York Pass card for 1 day only, which entitles you to make several tours. To make the most of what the weather and the card provided us, we tried to visit as many attractions as possible on Wednesday.   First stop was at the American Museum of Natural History. Very interesting… The building is underrenovation sanding outside, so here are some photos of the contents…   Gorilla Diego Adri Lioness   We think the diameter of this tree is impressive… it's…
