Gumbo was visiting Historic Lower Fort Garry, situated on the banks of the Red River about a half hour’s drive north of Winnipeg. Built in 1830 by the Hudson’s Bay company, part of then Rupert’s Land, the stone wall fort if well preserved an a popular Canadian Historic site.
Gumbo was visiting Sagrada Familia Schoolhouse. Built more than a century ago to educate the children of the construction workers who were building Gaudi’s La Sagrada Familia Cathedral, it is a excellent example of simple yet beautiful design that was the hallmark of much of the Modernisme architectural movement.
Chester Cathedral isn’t the oldest, largest, or most famous but PHeymont calls it one of the most beautiful…and with a most fascinating history.
Gumbo was visiting the most photographed hotel in the world, the beautiful Château Frontenac, in Quebec City.
At once one of the world’s great botanical gardens, a great art museum, and an outstanding research library…it’s hard to call it more than just “The Huntington.”
Gumbo was visiting the Cave and Basin National Historic Site, the original site around which Canada’s first National Park — Banff National Park — was created.
The experts caught Gumbo this week at the Routhierville Covered Bridge, in Quebec Province, Canada
Gumbo was visiting Paris’ Les Invalides, home to Napoleon Bonaparte’s tomb and the interesting Army Museum.
Camp Hale is now a quiet mountain meadow with scattered concrete ruins. But in World War II, this was a busy and active military camp which trained the elite cold-weather troops of the 10th Mountain Division.
