We were able to watch the rain absolutely bucketing down from our dry room, through the window. The best way to experience rain in our opinions. Dodie

These are bumbleblebees, which generally are very placid and do not usually sting. Two of the three are fearless about insects, the other one not so much.

If it makes it back to Montreal I am sure the 3 would love to show it to you, and all the other cool stuff they have picked up along the way. Dodie
