Nemoworld

Yup, vacation time is over, and after a long drive through Quebec and Vermont, we’re back to Home Sweet Home.

My wife published recently our pics –> here.

It was a good time for hiking, bicycling everywhere (at least 20 miles a day), kayaking, eating delicious meals (mmmmmmm), finding nice rocks to bring back, trying to sleep with the noise of the trucks and watching those marvelous whales ! Well, a pretty good time yup !

Well, time goes fast, then lets back to work !

After few days at Saint Anne de Beaupré : beautiful church with decorations and geometric patterns coming from the local Indians tribes (tons and tons of mosaics, really marvelous), we are going to go to Baie Saint Paul much norther. It’s still next the Saint Laurent river and much colder.

We should have the time to see the whales and belugas in the bay with the croisieres dufour
Also, see the parks around, enjoy the landscape in bicycle !

Well no Internet for at least 6 days .. so see you soon.

Yup, we have left Montreal to visit this beautiful valley. We are staying in a motel pretty simple but decent and clean at Saint Anne de Beaupré, close of the church where the remains of Saint Anne are kept (an arm !!).

It seems a very important site for pilgrims, something similar to Lourdes with less people.

We arrived yesterday, and already this night our bikes where on the road until Saint Joachim via the voie royal.

Yipeeee first day of vacation !

After a good drive with our bikes in the back of the car from new york to montreal, we arrived in this hotel near the vieux port.

A good advice : dont go to this hotel (travelodge at montreal) … simply dont !

We pay $109/day for a shoe box good enough for one (we are two), the bathroom is not working (the toilet is simply plugged !) to finish in beauty, the AC stop at 76F (24C) making the night difficult. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

So Montreal is a great city but it’s a bad start … at least we found a charming place at Beaupré (near Quebec) for saterday !

Update: Ok, once they understood that everything was not working, they gave us a new room (in front of previous one), curiously much more cleaner and this time with no problem ! at last !

Oki time to go to Quebec city

This beautiful city full of street theaters and music and hot wines !

This time the weather is particularly cooooooold ! less than 0F !!! So good coat, pull, gloves and boots !

See you for the beginning of year
