Montreal Dragon Boat Festival

July 30-31, 2005

This was a fun weekend, notwithstanding the fact that we got lost in the car at least once every day.  Despite appearances, there was actually a fair amount of dragon boat racing involved.  It's just that none of my pictures of the races came out, and no video either.
