Saturday Afternoon Explorations

Jillian and Jordan went shopping for a Junior-Senior Prom dress, so the boys went exploring.  Our first stop was the open house at the Saint-Ghislain Rail Museum.

The club and museum are housed in an old coach factory.

My kind of garage!

Model train layouts were a hit. Plus, lots of dirty and greasy stuff to climb on and explore.

With a good train fix, the next stop was the local marina.  It had been many months since we “walked the docks.”  Mons’ port and marina are located in a big turning basin on the European canal system here:

A very nice looking canal boat.  Believe that is a Mini on deck with a crane to move it!

Also, spotted an innovative use for one of the many ferro-cement DIY boat hulls abandoned around the world.
