A Gourmet Train Ride














We pampered ourselves this summer on the Mt. Orford Express, a gourmet train ride, that originates in Sherbrooke, Quebec, in the hilly Eastern Townships.














We arrived at the station around noon.
All the cars on the train are dining cars:














We sat in the upper level of the domed car, to have a better view.














The food was delicious... For lunch, we had sandwiches and salad...














... and, of course, dessert!














We watched rivers, lakes and woods pass by, as we ate.














The train stopped briefly at Magog, on Lake Memphremagog, so we got off and walked around. Here is a view of the train from the tower that overlooks the area. (We didn't see the lake monster which supposedly lives in the water!)
