The beautiful ms Amsterdam, a Holland America Line ship docked in Quebec City, Quebec. 

October 2001

We felt as if we had been transported to Europe in Ste-Anne-de-Beaupré outside Quebec City.
Montmorency Falls, also near Quebec City.
Only the early risers were able to enjoy sunrise in the fabulous Saguenay Fjord. This area is reminiscent of Desolation Sound in British Columbia--but with stunning fall color.
Scenic and tranquil, the view from the 'Anne of Green Gables' house, the inspiration for Lucy Maud Montgomery's popular novel.
The red cliffs of Prince Edward Island.
Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor, Maine.

More fabulous fall color.

More scenic Bar Harbor--this is at Thunder Hole.

The rocks are slippery, but not too much so for a committed Pacific Northwesterner...

The Man at the Wheel--a memorial and tribute to the brave fishermen and sailors of Massachusetts-- faces the open sea at Gloucester.
Passengers enjoy beverages and sunset in the Crow's Nest aboard the MS Amsterdam.
Ronaldo, Emil, Romeo, Pat, and Glen, entertained us in the Crow's Nest with origami, tricks, puzzles, jokes, singing and dancing. Luisa and Haide worked hard and tolerated their antics. Congratulations to 'Ronnie', who is getting married in St. Thomas the end of this year.
