Quebec Travel Blogs

Background: A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Canada's paramount political problem is meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services after a decade of budget cuts. The issue of reconciling Quebec's francophone heritage with the majority anglophone Canadian population has moved to the back burner in recent years; support for separatism abated after the Quebec government's referendum on independence failed to pass in October of 1995.

Balade au parc Angrignon

North America » Canada » Quebec » Montréal

My kitchen

Voilà un voyage extraordinaire au bout de la ligne verte jusqu'à la station Angrignon où se trouve le parc du même nom. Nous sommes allés explorer les forêts casi vierges de l'île de Montréal et avons pu retrouvé un coin de nature sauvage... sans plaisanter, voilà des photos du parc qui est vaste et charmant, qui mérite de se retrouver ici et qui j'espère va donner envie à mes amis argentins, portugais, anglais, australiens, autrichiens, français et serbes de venir me voir ici à Montréal. To all my new friends from around the world: There's some pics from montreal and one [View Full Entry]

Préparatifs vont bon train

North America » Canada » Quebec » Montréal

Il reste de moins en moins de dodos d'ici mon départ. Mais ça s'en vient vite. J'ai reçcu mon visa pour L'Inde et ma première dose de vaccin contre l'encéphalite japonaise. J'ai même déjà mon billet pour Bangkok en main et il est même payé! Je fais mon sac à dos au moins une fois par semaine et j'essaie d'éliminer des choses chaque fois car je veux voyager léger. Des suggestions le monde? I am counting the days, less and less sleep night to go. Got my visa for India and started immunization program. Even got my electronic air ticket to [View Full Entry]

Small trip to Quebec

North America » Canada » Quebec » Québec City

Old city at night

A visit to Quebec city before starting school. We decided to take a roadtrip over because that is what we love to do. The ride over with JV and Elvis, DOG HOUSE!, blaring on the radio made the 7 hour trip pass by so quickly. So what can we say about this city? Its quaint, a great place to escape the NYC heat and humidity, and thats about it. The sky is huge here, but thats attributed to the lack of many tall buildings in the area. We didn't do much here except walk on the wall and in the [View Full Entry]

Less than 2 months to go

North America » Canada » Quebec » Montréal

Still many more sunsets before i go
Il reste plusieurs dodos et couchers de soleil avant le grand départ

As we are still enjoying a great summer, I am preparing for my next departure. Immunizations, packing, reading up on my destinations and trying to pick up a few words of Thai, Vietnamese and Hindi. I am here but my head is there already. I want to go before I chicken out as travelling solo is a big deal for me. Anyone interested in joining me along the way is most welcome. Tandis que notre magnifique été se poursuit, je prépare ma prochaine aventure. Il me faut des vaccins, des chèques de voyage, des guides et je dois penser à [View Full Entry]

06 Far East Ride - Day 13 - NS, PEI, NB & QB

North America » Canada » Quebec

New Brunswick #1
The following pictures are from the trip across NB and QB.

This is the 13th part of a series about my trip on my 2005 883 Low Harley Sportster ‘Effie’ from Kansas City to Novia Scotia and back. This was part of my vacation from 4 to 20 AUG 2006 WED 16AUG06 Up at 4AM, gone at 5AM. It’s a thick fog today, so thick it seems that I could cut it. With this being yet another day of rain and cold I am beginning to not expect any different. I need to get going as the PA Hog is coming up and I am many miles away. The next planned stop [View Full Entry]

Warp'd Tour

North America » Canada » Quebec » Montréal

Surprised Emma!
Emma's reaction when I explained the quantum nuclear physics to her and how they relate to the neurological patterns within her brain. OK... maybe not... but I thought it was a funny picture!

I would include a link to the Warp'd Tour site... but it is completely useless. Seriously folks, if you are going to have a site, (or do anything for that matter), do it right! Alright... so other than some frustration in trying to find exactly where this lil concert was taking place and how the heck to get there... WHAT A CRAZY FUN DAY!!!!! Warp'd tour is a punk rock tour, hosting some big well known bands, and many MANY smaller lesser known bands. To give you an idea, they had 12 stages playing at once from 11am until about 8 [View Full Entry]

NoFX could not have said it better... Mind you, this could have applied to August 5, 6, and 7th as well!!! What a perfect long weekend. From the awesome Sushi and Swords (Ping Pong tournament) where Craig used his long toes to lead him to victory, to the suprises Retardedment party for my parents, to the drunken insanity at the dance that night.... and that was just Saturday!!!! The significance of August 8, is not just a NoFX song, and it super cool being the 8th day of the 8th month, but also the first official day of my vacation and [View Full Entry]

Mon 6th Aug 2006 Hi everyone, thanks to those of you who have left messages, it was great to hear from you. We left Toronto at about 10.45am yesterday wth Di driving to go to Ottawa in our lovely blue HHR Chevvy We travelled down highway 401 leaving at Bellvile to take the even more beautiful route by the side of Lake Ontario passing Picton. On reaching Glenora, the road ended and meant taking the 'free' ferry trip across to Adolphustown. (See photo) We then stopped at Kingston which was the capital of upper and lower Canada between 1841 and 1843. [View Full Entry]
