Riding the rails…..

….or at least the linear park created, when they take up the rails. I have to give it to the person(s) who first thought up the concept of a linear park and to the people, who maintain those parks today. They are amazing!! The death of the short run railway, has been the birth of […]

The Jameses…….

Brilliant is the only word to describe the concept of the “Jameses,” – a theatrical event, now on a world tour. It is: 1. A trilogy of three plays about James I, James II and James III, who ruled Scotland during the 1400s. 2. An 11-hour epic of amazing theatre – all three plays were

Ile d’Orleans

Saturday was the end of our stay in La Malbaie. We left about 10:00am to drive the 2.5 hours back to Quebec city, with stops along the way. We gave Isle aux coudres a miss. It was another short ferry ride and I had already had three ferry rides on this trip. Ste Anne de

Tadoussac

Thursday was to be a whale watching day, but it decided to rain the entire day 🙁 We headed East, this time, from La Malbaie and with the help of a ferry, crossed the Saguenay fjord at Tadoussac. This was not a pleasure boat, however, it was an essential link on the only highway connecting

I Fall for Falls….

Fishing around for something to do in the rain – all puns intended, we decided to drive up to a provincial park just north of La Malbaie. Well, maybe, “just” isn’t the operative word. One doesn’t “just” drive up winding roads laced with rivers, spectacular water falls, “in your face” rock faces and casually say
