This is the “poutine”, Canada’s national must-try meal made of fries, gravy, cheese, bacon and we do not know what else. We think that this already gives you an idea of Canada’s culinary art đ What we really miss is the form and substance of “our” bread, a real and fine espresso (in an espresso… Continue reading Food_enjoy!
Guest
Saturday we arrived in Montreal and were guest of Patrice and his family. A nice occasion to learn a bit more about the Canadian habits and culture. Thank you very much for the great hospitality and a really really fine cappuccino (finally!) đâïž
Quebec CityÂ
The creative, a mix of old and modern city of Quebec is well worth a visit. The only walled city north of Mexico is beautiful with its old buildings, cobbled streets and centuries of history. Our stop in Quebec City was more an organizational step than a city visit, but if you plan to stay… Continue reading Quebec CityÂ
Unmotorized move
@the Parc National des Hautes-Gorges-de la-RiviĂšre-Malabaie we let our 4-wheeler rest a bit and we went for a bike-ride and some walking. The surroundings are absolutely stunning. Here the land is not flat anymore and the parc gifts its visitors with green nature, quite and wide river, walking and biking paths as well as water-activities.… Continue reading Unmotorized move
Gaspesie – sea and forestÂ
We now sit on the gras by the camp fire in Les MĂ©chins (http://www.campingauxpignonsverts.com).

We drove along the coast from Campbellton NB up to GaspĂ© QC finding the town of PercĂ© QC the… Continue reading Gaspesie – sea and forestÂ

We only drove through the highway of New Brunswick (NB), but our appearance was of a bigger and more rustic Province, which allowed us the first night of wild camping … Continue reading NS – NB – QC
Challenge acceptedÂ
I do realize not many of you do own a roof-tent (pop up tent) as well as not having an almost 2 meters tall partner, but have you ever tried to open (or worst close!) such a structure?! This was my try (open the tent) at our arrival in Amherst (http://www.lochlomondrvpark.com/): challenge accepted and well… Continue reading Challenge acceptedÂ

Back into 1867
Friday was a bit of a gray/rainy day. Never the less we needed a plan to head north as well as give time to Kate to shake her tiny legs. We found a good solution into the Sherbrooke Village. Back in 1867 there were no cars and children could run free in the village… This… Continue reading Back into 1867
