one hour without our leaving the cart!!!

Is there a prize for most photos taken? You WIN!!! Yeah. Guess the best prize will be a flight back to lusterless TO. It's a great city, but it's not Paris. Have SO enjoyed all your photos. Amazing. I do hope you set up a travelogue when you get back. Have fun while you can.

Looks like you are really having a wonderful adventure. I'd love to see the garden maze. I'd so enjoy roaming throught a lovely old garden maze.
