嘿嘿！ 阿保，旅途可好，感触一定很多吧？游记何时刊出啊？

感触最深的是 Montréal 很有欧洲风格，文化和建筑皆一流，到处是酒吧和餐馆，据说在法语世界仅次于巴黎，可能是北美最好的欧洲式城巿。

松鼠觅食扒草地
游人寻梦望穹窿

红叶喜欢吃素，再赠几句：

「三字经：红薯块」

小时候，生活苦。无白面，有红薯。
过了冬，细粮完。春天里，尽薯干。
家家愁，人人怨。唯阿保，真喜欢。
玉米糊，香又甜。三顿饭，九大碗。
长大了，游四海。样样事，学老外。
烤土豆，烧牛排。啃面包，喝牛奶。
胃口坏，体重増。找医生，没有用。
想当年，很感慨。最爱吃，红薯块。

注：据我家领导最新研究，红薯的营养指数高于任何食品。谁能想到，儿时最便宜的东西，其实最好！

Sweet Potato Ranks Number One In Nutrition

According to nutritionists at the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), the single most important dietary change for most people, including children, would be to replace fatty foods with foods rich in complex carbohydrates, such as sweet potatoes.

CSPI ranked the sweet potato number one in nutrition of all vegetables. With a score of 184, the sweet potato outscored the next highest vegetable by more than 100 points. Points were given for content of dietary fiber, naturally occurring sugars and complex carbohydrates, protein, vitamins A and C, iron and calcium. Points were deducted for fat content (especially saturated fat), sodium, cholesterol, added refined sugars and caffeine. The higher the score, the more nutritious the food.
