The bike path down to the canal is a lot of fun now that they have finished it, unfortunately NDG has failed to connect the path to anything meaningful, so the ride there is a little difficult. None the less, it only takes 5 minutes on the bike to get to the canal which is a lot faster than the old route through ville St. Pierre. I learned more about Maud Lewis recently, she was a famous Canadian folk artist who painted cheerful scenes of nature and wildlife from Nova Scotia. Her paintings were very popular, she depicted things with amazing colour and composition. It is a neat concept, most of her work was done from memory in her house, which is now part of a museum because she painted on all the walls and furniture.
