We are off and running
Our ride would take about two hours
We would go under several bridges on our ride



Cruising along -- A friendly family

The scenery was delicious

.



Seen along the way:
The ducks watched us go by -- Old boat, for the taking?




A lock to go through -- It's full, we are going in
On the right note the lower water level down stream

Through in good shape -- Couple watching the action
Again note now we are on a lower level,
the water in the lock is gone



We are back -- There is our car




Tim tied us up
He enjoyed his holiday in Europe, we enjoyed his presence.

Tim, our son, is a boatman by profession. He ties up large ships and barges when they get into the Port of Houston. He has been doing this line of work now for over twenty-five years.

I will post Part #2 of our Midi du Canal ride another day. For a couple of other posts showing this ride click here.
