I have one last footprint to leave before we head home. Just a thought about the places we stayed the last four nights. Both in Quebec City and Ottawa we had extremely nice accommodations. Both of these places were across from shelters for the homeless. I really don't have a problem with this type of thing, but it gave me lots to be thankful for. I am thankful that my life has not taken me or any of my family in such a direction. I feel bad that as we are walking past these people who are struggling our biggest struggle was are we going to find a decent place to eat. It really did make me feel thankful for all that I have - awesome family, good friends, a nice house and good food to eat. My thanks to you for reading this blog to the end and being a part of all that I am thankful for.

Just for context I added a couple of pictures from 2017 showing what had caused all the people to come to Ottawa.もっと詳しく

We had to go back to the hotel to book our seats on our flight home. That ended up breaking our day into two. After the seats were booked we went back out for a little more exploring. Our Uber driver told us the that museums and galleries are free on Thursday evenings. We decided that we would go to the National Gallery of Canada. With that in mind we went out and explored the area around the gallery. The park behind the gallery overlooks the Ottawa River and the city of Gatineau. Lots of stuff to see in the park. We still had some time so we went to St Patrick's Basilica to sit quietly for a while. When we were in Ottawa in 2017 about 1 million tourists were in the city because of a public event called La Machine. The streets were crowded and it was hard to see anything. It was nice to what Ottawa is like normally.
The gallery was huge and had so many pieces of art and art installations.
I took a video in The Rideau Chapel. I thought it was interesting that there was a chapel in the gallery. The chapel is actually made up of pieces of a convent that was demolished. You need to turn up the volume for the video. Each speaker has a different voice from a choir. This type of arrangement is called a motet. Is was really cool to sit in the middle and listen this piece of music.
We tried to take in most of the gallery. It was really big and we knowed we skipped by some but we enjoyed all that we saw. Once we were done with that we grabbed supper and went back to the hotel to, you guessed it, watch baseball.もっと詳しく

Decided to stay at an actual franchised hotel for the last two nights of our trip. AirB&B type places are nice because of the comforts of home like cooking your own meals. However, staying in a more modern hotel that offers a great self-serve breakfast is also a nice break from self-catering. Our hotel is conveniently located quite close to the Byward Market. Our morning outing was a walk around this area. Kind of walked through it last evening looking for a bar to eat supper at and watch baseball, but it was dark. This morning was much better.もっと詳しく

Today was ride the train day. Today we went from Quebec City back to Ottawa. Got to see the portion of our first train ride that we passed in the dark. It was beautiful. I took a video but it doesn't really do the colours justice.
Got to Ottawa, checked into our hotel, found a place to eat and now it's time to watch baseball.もっと詳しく

Quebec Day 2
10月14日, カナダ ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
After the falls we made our way back into Old Quebec for one last wander and some souvenir shopping. We've been gone for about a week and all of the sudden Old Quebec is decked out with Halloween decorations.

One of our last shopping stops was Simon's. On our walking tour we learned that with the closing of the Hudson's Bay Company, Simon's is now the the longest running department store in Canada. Had to go check it out.もっと詳しく

Today we drove back to Quebec City. There were two options. A 3 hour drive through the wildlife reserve or a 4 1/2 hour drive with a stop in Trois-Rivieres. Our host in Roberval heavily suggested going through Trois-Rivieres. She said it would be more beautiful and that there was nothing to see on the other road. I was a little concerned about time because of our track record with stopping. After much discussion we decided to go through Trois-Rivieres with as few stops along the way as possible. Turns out there weren't a lot of places to stop. It was very beautiful probably the nicest showing of fall colours all week. Since there weren't a lot of places to stop we didn't get any pictures, with the exception of one with clouds on the river. Had lunch in Trois-Rivieres, walked around for a bit, and got a ride in pedi-cab. Then it was off to Quebec. We returned the car, found a place to have pizza and now back in our huge hotel apartment.もっと詳しく

Fjord Day
10月12日, カナダ ⋅ 🌙 9 °C
Today we left Tadoussac and started making our way back to Quebec City, the long way. We drove through the Sagunay Fjords towards Roberval.
Our first stop was Baie des Rochers. We were told by a tourist information person that there was a recently a forest fire there and wasn't anything to see, so need to stop. Ger of course needed to check it out. I agreed because I thought the name, Bay of Rocks, sounded like something we should see. Off we went. There wasn't any evidence of a forest fire with the exception of the fact that the hiking trails were all closed. The bay itself was lovely and, you guessed it, full of rocks. Once Ger got his fill of photos we left to make our way to the next stop.
We found a cute little town, Petit Saguenay, and decided to stop. I went off to find some soup for lunch, while Ger went into the tourist information centre to find the best places to view the fjords. Turns out there were a number of places to stop in the area to view the fjords, and the restaurant beside the tourist information centre sold potage, yum. It was a funky little restaurant and artisan shoppe that also sold medicinal herbs. Ger took a video. It's not the best quality because of being sent between phones but it gives a good idea of the place.
Next stop was the quai at Petit Saguenay. This was a beautiful spot. Turns out the Saguenay River is effected by the tides and there is a little island just off the shore. If you aren't careful and go to the island and the tide comes in you are stuck there for about 5 hours. It was low tide when we got there so no worries. We didn't go but could see a couple of families enjoying the walk on the island. At the end of the quai was a gazebo. There was a gentleman getting ready to perform, sing and play guitar. He said it would be about 30 minutes. I think he realized Ger was excited to hear him sing so he played a few songs. It was nice to have our own personal mini-concert. We left before the actual performance because it was getting on to almost two o'clock. In four hours we managed to only travel 45 minutes worth of our 2 1/2 hour drive, and we still had one more stop to make.
We stopped at the Parc National du Fjord-du-Saguenay. This looked like a really nice place to spend a day hiking and enjoying the view. It was mid afternoon so we took a walk down to the shore to see the fjords. It was getting late so back into the car so we could to Roberval before dark.もっと詳しく

Whale Day
10月11日, カナダ ⋅ ☀️ 10 °C
This morning we went on a whale watching cruise. We saw minke whales, a fin whale, a beluga and a grey seal. It was all very exciting. Today I learned that there are 90 species of whales and only 10 species show their tail. None of the species that live in this area are ones that show their tail. So that was sad. But it was really cool to see the whales coming to surface to get some oxygen. I didn't take any pictures of the whales because I decided to just take in the moment rather than fumbling with my phone.
Also learned about how whales eat. Here is the Google AI explanation. Whales that eat krill, known as baleen whales, use a method called filter feeding. They engulf massive mouthfuls of water containing krill, then use their tongue to push the water back out through the comb-like plates of baleen in their mouths, which trap the krill as the water is expelled. Right whales are baleen whales and live in this area but we didn't see any of those.
After lunch we went for a walk to see the lake behind our auberge. Tadoussac is a very interesting place. It is picturesque and somehow built into the forest it inhabits. There a lot of trails in and around the town, so lots of opportunities to go for lovely walks. I think this would be a great place for a couple to go on a honeymoon, but then we went to Waterton Park for our honeymoon.
We then walked down to the whale museum. That was really interesting. The museum was pretty much a room of whale skeltons hanging from the ceiling with a lot of accompanying information. All the skeletons were whales that had died in the area. Heard a lot of sad stories about what happened to the whales. However, it was interesting to see the skeltons and just get an idea of how big these animals are. A lot of them were juveniles, weren't completely grown, and they were still huge. The jaw bones of humpback whale were used to frame the doorway. The humpback was 22 meters long which was much too big for the museum, so they decided to display only the jaw bones.
All in all it was a good day of learning about whales.もっと詳しく

Today we drove from La Malbaie to Tadoussac where we will be spending the next two nights. Technically a one hour drive but it took pretty much a solid four hours. This whole area from just outside La Malbaie to north of Tadoussac is a protected marine area and is controlled by Parks Canada. It is a unique park in Canada because it is water not land. It is one of only a few marine protected areas in the world.
Our first stop was at Port aux Percil. It is an Irish town set in a very pretty area by the coast.
Then just up the road a bit is St Simion. We went down to the beach area and watched the gulls drop urchins while in flight. This would crack open the urchin's prickly shell. The gull could then get the meat out of the shell. Lunch is served. Much better gull experience than my Scotland experience.
From there we went to Pointe-Noire. This is one of three Parks Canada interpretive centres in the marine park. It is the point where the St Lawrence River meets the Sagunay River. I got to see a whale breech, so that was fun! We could see Tadoussac just across the confluence.
Once we got our fill of trying to see whales we made our way to Tadoussac.もっと詳しく

After going to the museum and hanging out on the quai for bit we drove out of town to a historic display of a blacksmith shop. I kind of wanted to see this place to get some ideas of how to display the blacksmith shop at the Lumsden Museum. Sadly it was closed but there was a cool sculpture on the grounds.
From there we drove to a mushroom farm. We learned about how to grow mushrooms and what makes a mushroom farm successful. It was really interesting, and now we are bringing home some preserved mushrooms.
After that we took a drive on a mountain route that had a view of a spectacular valley. It was now the end of the day and time to travel back to our place.もっと詳しく

La Malbaie
10月9日, カナダ ⋅ 🌬 7 °C
We started the day by going to the Charlevoix Museum. It was a nice museum and had three sections. The first was the history of the area. What was most interesting is that this area was formed by an asteroid that hit this area millions of years ago. When we are driving it is noticeably lower here than it was in Quebec. Also, found out that La Malbaie means "the bad bay". At low tide the bay actually dries up. We saw it a few times at low tide but never made it to it high tide.
The second area was an art gallery that is currently featuring five artists from Quebec who paint Quebec's scenery. Rather than having the paintings sorted by artists, the paintings were categorized by the different areas in Quebec. It was interesting to see and compare all the different interpretations.
The third part was on the second floor in a circular room overlooking the bay. The curator was just setting up a temporary display featuring local artisans. It was cool to see the displays up against the windows. There's a video of that.
A couple of days earlier we were looking for St Hubert's for supper. (It's a chicken and rib place that I like.) Google sent us there, I am sure, in the best way possible but turns out it was located inside the casino. The casino was fancy and it looked like the hotel associated with it was pretty fancy too. We were not dressed to be around there. All this to say that were some pretty fancy Halloween decorations outside the casino.
There is also a second footprint for today.もっと詳しく

Les Moulins de L'isle-Aux-Coudres
10月8日, カナダ ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
Today we went to L'isle-Aux-Coudres. It is an island just off the Quebec coast. About a 20 minute ferry ride. The tour books make this island sound like quite the place to find artisans, particularly fabric artists. Did not find any of those but there seemed to be a lot of great smelling bakeries for such a small place.
Ger read about a museum on the island. So we had our first museum visit for the trip. The museum was about the flour mill located on the island. When it was first built it used a water wheel to power the mill but as the population grew on the island it did not produce enough flour to keep the residents fed in the winter. A wind mill was built which solved the problem. Since Ger is a millwright he was able to explain to me how the water wheel, the wind mill and the flour mill all work. I appreciated this info because the museum was self guided and most of the descriptions were in French. When we were leaving Ger met the miller. Turns out the mill still works and runs most days. This explains why there so many bakeries. The miller uses the water wheel to run the mill. It just wasn't running today because there wasn't enough water in reservoir. Too bad I didn't get a picture of the water wheel.
At the museum we also learned about a local custom on the island - Mi-Careme. There is a photo with an explanation. In the 1960's an NFB documentary was made about this custom. Portions of the film were being shown. Although the custom almost died out in the 1940's the islanders managed to keep it going. Now the younger generations think it is important enough to continue going back to the island to take part in the celebration every year.
We returned to the mainland and went to Baie St Paul to wander around their tourist area and have supper. Another lovely day.もっと詳しく

Today we went to Parc National Des-Hautes-Gorges-De-La-Riviere-Malbaie, which means The High Cliffs of the Malbaie River. The area we are in is called Charlevoix, named after a Jesuit priest. Going to the national park was highly recommended by the guy working at the tourist information building in Malbaie. Just so you know, national park in Quebec means provincial park. We found that out the hard way the last time we were here. Tried to use our Canada national park pass to get into a Quebec national park. It's kind of deceiving because their national parks are huge, much like a Canada national park, and the services are very similar.
Back to our experience today. We drove to a point where you could cross the Malbaie River and walk up a ways to a lookout. The view from this spot was spectacular. After that we took a walk along the river. That took up pretty much most of the day. It was good to go for a walk with Mother Nature. However, she is not allowing me to a get a video of falling leaves.もっと詳しく

Well we did it again. We had a drive that was supposed to take just under two hours to our next desition and it took us all day. We are staying in Ste Irenee which is about a half hour north of Baie St Paul. Baie St Paul is the largest center in the Charlevoix area so we stopped there for a bit. On our way to Ste Irenee we stopped at a look out to view the St Lawrence River and Baei St Paul. The pictures are basically from the same spot just slightly different angles.もっと詳しく

It was nice to get out into nature and walk amongst the trees. We really haven't done any walking/hiking in natural areas for a long time. I enjoyed the smell of the trees and listening to the water fall. Not much else to say for this post. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.もっと詳しく

Walking Tour of Quebec
10月5日, カナダ ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
Today we did a walking tour of Old Quebec. It started at the Fountaine de Tourney, which is located in of the Quebec parliament buildings. We strolled through the fort gate to learn about the fortification of Quebec. We found out that Quebec City is the only fortified city in North America.
Then we walked to the Ursuline Convent. Crazy thing about the Ursulines is that the French general who was fatally wounded at the battle at the Plains of Abraham was secretly buried in the convent. A cannon ball came through the roof and created a hole in the chapel floor. The general died from his wounds in the hospital across the street, so the Ursulines offered to secretly bury him in the hole. This was because there was a concern that his body was going to be stolen by the British. The Ursulines kept the secret of where he was buried until 2001.
Next stop was the oldest building in the province of Quebec, Maison des Jésuites-de-Sillery, which was built in 1637. Since my perspective is from a person born and raised in Saskatchewan, which comparatively is a much younger province, it always blows my mind that we have such old buildings in Canada.
Onto the Notre-Dame de Québec Basilica-Cathedral. What I found especially interesting is that the Basilica has a holy door. A door that when you walk through all your sins are wiped clean and you can start fresh. The door is only opened once every 25 years. The next time it will be opened is 2039. The stairs to the door are taken away and only put in when it is opened.
Then we were off to the Chateau Frontenac. A very big CP Hotel which overlooks the St. Lawrence River and has 610 rooms. Oddly enough the cheapest room is $600 a night.
Now off to Lower Town. This was a completely new section to me. The only other time we were in Quebec City we only toured in the evening and didn't see a whole lot. Didn't even know that this section existed. It felt very much like being in Europe. We walked down the winding street towards the water. I really enjoyed being in Lower Town as it brought back memories of being in Edinburgh.
After the tour was over on the way back up and out of the Lower Town we stopped in a park that overlooked the St Lawrence River. There were a lot of cannons in this park with a special one that calls for peace. It is a large vase made to look like a cannon. There is a photo that explains it's meaning.
The rest of our day was spent wandering around Old Quebec and just enjoying the warm sunny day.もっと詳しく

We decided to take a later train rather than the bus. So we hung around the train station for a very long time. Can't go too far when you are dragging luggage with you. We finally got onto a train at 2:00. The reason for taking the train from Ottawa to Quebec City was to see the fall colours. We got about 3 hours worth of fall colours, and 2 hours of dark. It was an enjoyable ride. I find traveling by train very non-stressful. So all in all a good day. Just a really long wait. Again today I didn't get a lot of pictures but did take a slow motion video of fall colours just north of Drummondville.もっと詳しく

I didn't take any pictures yesterday because we got to Ottawa in the dark, so yesterday's post is pictureless.
Update: I borrowed a couple of pictures from the interweb and added those to my first footprint.
First picture today is at the Via Rail station. Our train has been cancelled so now we are taking a zombie bus (that's what the tour guide in Ireland called the big buses) to Quebec City. It will be a little different of an experience but at least we are not driving.もっと詳しく

旅行者That’s disappointing as I knew it was a highlight of your trip, but by bus you’ll still get to take in the sights.

Ottawa Day 1
10月3日, カナダ ⋅ 🌙 16 °C
Today was pretty much a travel day. We arrived at the Regina Airport at 7:00 am and arrived in Ottawa at 6:00 pm (4:00 Regina time). Used an Uber for the first time. That worked out well. We went for a walk to find the bus stop that would take us to the Via Rail station. After that Ger figured out how much an Uber would cost. Turns out it costs about $5 more for an Uber than the bus, and then we don't have to walk around Ottawa with our luggage. We might be Uber people now. Time for sleep so we can get to the train station in the morning. Looking forward to that.
New entry: I didn't take this picture but thought I would add this particular picture of the Russian Embassy. It was about 2 blocks from our B&B and we saw it on our evening walk. Lots of Free Ukraine signs on the street poles. Looks like these may have been installed by the city (I'm just guessing). If you zoom in on the picture you can see the barbed wire at the top of the fence. Not a very welcoming place. However the the restaurant for the Ottawa Culinary Institute looked like it would be interesting. That was pretty much kitty corner from our place.もっと詳しく

Made a stop in Golden. I wanted to see where Regan and Cam spent their honeymoon. It was a lovely town with quite a big system of urban trails. It would be worth staying there for a day or two just to do the trails. We strolled around for about an hour and then got back on the road.
Although this trip is lasting a few more days this will probably be the last post. We are doing visiting more than sightseeing for the rest of the trip.もっと詳しく

Revelstoke
2024年10月8日, カナダ ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C
Today we left Revelstoke and are on our way to Canmore to visit one of Ger's lifelong buddies. We had a couple of very windy days to start this trip and since then the sky has been sunny, the winds have been calm and a few days were warm. Today was cloudy and cool and a bit rainy. I even pulled out my down coat. I actually thought I had unnecessarily packed it, but today I needed it.
Revelstoke seems to me to be a combo working and tourist town. There seems to be enough industry in the area to keep people working, with added bonus of year round touristy stuff. It is definitely a place for the younger and more adventurous with rock climbing, ziplining, mountain biking, skiing, etc. And then lots of opportunities for places to drink afterwards.
Most of my pictures today were taken on the road. I was enjoying the clouds in the mountains.もっと詳しく

Mission Hills Winery
2024年10月7日, カナダ ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
First stop today was Mission Hills Winery. It was vastly different than the winery we visited yesterday. A very large operation with pristine gardens and buildings. It worth the stop just to see the Okanagan Valley and Lake from the top of this small mountain (maybe it's a hill). It's hard to tell the difference here. As we left thevwinery I said to Ger that it's nice to see how the other 2% lives.
We then drove off to 50th Parallel Winery. The road traveled along the lake. It was nice to drive on a less busy road. After a quick tasting Ger bought a bottle of wine that could be drank now but will be better in a year.
We continued on this road until we got to Vernon and then had to go back to the main highway to get to Revelstoke. We left Kelowna at 9:00 am and got to Revelstoke at 5:00. Not bad for a 2.5 hour drive.もっと詳しく

Knox Mountain Park was another suggestion give to us by our enthusiastic visitor centre host. It is Kelowna's nature park that has a few trails. We took a stroll along the lake. There were also some trails going up the mountain but we opted out of those. We had a lovely walk along the Okanagan Lake. Another nice ending to a nice day.もっと詳しく

Vibrant Vines Winery
2024年10月6日, カナダ ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
Today we started to make our way home. Like the rest of this trip we are trying to keep the daily drives to 2-3 hours. It usually takes us way longer to get to our destination because we are making stops at places that seem interesting. Now that I said that, I don't have any photos from today's stops.

Our first stop in Kelowna was the visitor centre. The young man who helped us was very enthusiastic and gave us really good suggestions of things we could do for the afternoon.
Ger wanted to check out a winery or two, so we went to the one that had the most unique description, Vibrant Vines Winery. The unique thing about this winery is that the labels are 3D.
One of the staff described this winery as a retirement project that got a little out of hand. A winery was purchased and then the owner asked his son, who is an artist, to design the labels. The son has a very unique artistic style. His friends discovered that his artwork was 3D. So that was a happy accident . The winery doubles as an art gallery for the son. His work is amazing, and may be influenced by hallucinagenics.
Ger took part in a wine tasting. I was wishing I could taste the wines. The descriptions made the wines sound wonderful and they smelled awesome. Ger assures me that all the drinks tasted good.
I'm glad this is the winery we picked to go see. Also, the grounds were lovely. It was very inviting to stroll around outside to see the vineyards.もっと詳しく

Things around Osoyoos
2024年10月5日, カナダ ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
We did a bit of wandering around Osoyoos. I did a short visit to the museum. They had a lot of interesting artifacts. The most interesting one was a hair wreath. It is actually a wreath made of hair. Hair wreaths were usually made of a person's hair to honour them after they passed.
We also strolled a park that overlooks swiws Provincial Park. A nice way to end a busy day. Tomorrow we start heading back home.もっと詳しく
