Debbie Goes to Montreal

I was excited to represent Hebrew Free Loan of Austin when the International Association of Jewish Free Loans annual conference went to Montreal. I explored the city with 2 awesome board members, Dana and Stuart. It was a fun city to explore with many international cultures and cuisines represented, and a lovely outdoor walking atmosphere that provided a nice cool break from the Texas heat.




Meanwhile at the conference, it was nice to see folks in person that I've connected with virtually over the years.

The conference concluded, and I had some time to explore Montreal on my own.

Mt. Royal had beautiful views of the city skyline.

Fall had already begun up there.

The Ring (art installation)

I took myself around to a couple cathedrals to appreciate the grandness of the architecture and art built within.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, these three finished birthday dessert fondue and did just fine with Daddy.

This is their "Don't tell Mommy" face.
