Day 9 (August 21, 2016)

Once the breakfast finished, I write a bit and Claude builds Lego with the boys. Our Lepage-Lavoie friends will come get us and visit the trailer before we go for brunch. A lot of interest for our chariot (as Claude calls it)! The restaurant is close to the farmers’ market in a neighbourhood which has gentrified in the last years: many coffee shops, restaurants, little shops and very nice furniture and homeware stores. The Hallows where we are going is in an old Chinese restaurant, Golden Dragon. The décor has not changed, the plates are the old ones and the rest is a mix-match old fashion. Very interesting! The menu is certainly different: gastropub style with local ingredients. After lunch, which was delicious, we go to Architectural Design. This store had opened before we left but they took it to another level since we moved by multiplying it by at least 10 (garden furniture, plants, fountains, dishes, glasses, decorative elements, etc.!). The suitcases and the trailer and the wallet are too small to shop there, however it is very nice to browse around. We are expected at our friends, Phyllis and Ernie, for dinner but we have time for a drink on the terrace of a new restaurant. We get our car back and head south to the country side where our friends bought a new house. Once again, it is wonderful visit with our friends.
