A Peaceful Sunset
What a peaceful scene emerges... golden skies bordering the horizon are reflected upon the calm waters, as a boat navigates the tranquil waters, while a lone fisherman casts his line into the fading light of sunset.

Vintage Cars - Toys for Big Boys
Ah, the age-old adage, "Cars are made for big boys," often echoes in the halls of car shows and in the hearts of those who dream of horsepower and shiny rims.
But let's not forget the "big boys" of the railroads, like the Union Pacific 4014, a true behemoth of steam power that could probably play hopscotch with compact cars if trains had legs. And as for the idiom itself, it's a playful nod to the grown-ups who still cherish their toys, be they cars, trains, or even those remote-controlled helicopters that always seem to find their way into the office.
So, whether you're a "big boy" with a die-cast car collection or the conductor of a giant locomotive, it's clear that the love for big toys transcends age and size.

Edmundston, a city in Madawaska County, New Brunswick, Canada indeed captures the essence of discovery that makes travel so enriching. With its establishment dating back to the mid-19th century, this city not only offers a glimpse into Canada's historical tapestry but also presents a cultural mosaic that's vibrant and inviting. We got to visit Edmundston by chance because a friend was invited by the Bishop of the place.
