After touring the language school at the St. Jean base where I once taught - described in yesterday's blog post - Terry and I drove to the oldest part of St. Jean, near the Richelieu River. I think this bridge (below) rises to let tall boats through.
We wandered around...
In our wanderings, we came across a movie set - a winter wonderland covered with fake white snowy tarps.
We then stopped for a snack at a sidewalk cafe.
Later, walking towards a tour boat, we smelled smoke and saw it rising in the distance - in the direction where we had parked. The fire was in a vacant building next to a garage.
Fortunately, it was actually several blocks away from our car.
Fire crews did manage to extinguish it quickly.
(More adventure than we were expecting as we wandered around "old" St. Jean!)
