Sunny, continued hot
but not as humid
Well it is hot, but it is not
as humid primarily because we are in the mountains of Canada about 2 hours
north of Montreal. The title of
today’s blog refers to the fact that we are at the “Festival International du
Blues de Tremblant”, an annual blues happening which occurs in the lovely
little ski resort of Mt. Tremblant.
The entire complex is built upon the side of a mountain and is totally
pedestrian. Each of four stages is
built upon the slope and as you walk down through the village, you find various
artists playing some of the finest blues around. Reach the bottom and you can take the gondola back up to the
top and start all over again.
The title is only partially correct today, however, as there
are far more “blues” than “birds”.
The crowds and the volume of the music seems to have driven all but the
heartiest of Common grackles from the site. The major airborne attraction is actually a fire fighting
plane which is periodically flying over the town to gather water at a nearby lake
and then drop it on a forest fire burning off to the east.
