Trout River Hi Gilliam,
I was in Trout River in July with a friend. We tried out the 'much touted' restaurant but were terribly disappointed. Less than mediocre food at grossly overblown prices. I can do a much better job of cooking any day of the week! Hope your experience was better than ours.
By now, the icebergs are probably gone, but we saw a magnificent one at La Scie. People were wonderfully friendly. A couple of guys with a boat took my friend and me out to have a closer look at the iceberg, and there we saw a whale. Have a great time in Newfoundland!
Happy Journeys Hi Gill, great to see the photos of the house and particularily like the one of the chairs and the church. If you have any time at all, perhaps next year, when you are finished your journey, you could send it. Sorry I wasn't here when you arrived, it really didn't sound like anyone was looking after the place. Sometimes, I just need a break and usually have the girl that works for me show up when I disappear for a little while. Hope you enjoyed the sitdown breakfast, a little more interesting than the muffin and banana on the go. Nice to have met you and all the best with your journey, it will be an amazing trip for your son. Take care, Juana
Dear Jauna, I felt so welcomed and as though North Sydney was the most safe place in the world, when you left notes at the door for us. I did not see it, at all as a draw back. I'll send that photo when I can. I need a full computer so it could even be in October.
Thanks again, Gillian

Happy hiking! I'm so happy you played on the Green Gardens trail! I've only spent a few days in Gros Morne, but this hike was one of my favourites. What a spectacular place. Looking forward to following you on your next adventures!
You have an amazing adventure planned! I'm so fortunate to have discovered your blogs this morning. I've read a couple already and certainly will be reading more. I'm excited to read your thoughts and impressions as you travel this year.
Unearthly Rock Glowing Gold in the Sun Refreshing to read your account of the tablelands. I enjoyed viewing the "crazy orange rock" through your open lens. Audrey
Wonderful blogs, Gill! I read your accounts of Newfoundland and felt like I was there with you - lovely descriptions and capturing of essence. What a fabulous journey you are on, in so many ways. I'm most impressed with your courage and fortitude to go it alone (meeting up with friends en route, of course). Carry on, intrepid sister! I look forward to your next entry. xox
Whoo hoo Gilly The point sounds marvellous and your blog has inspired me to put eastern canada as my next travel destination, after Italy of course! I'm back at work, the renovations completed and hotel in Barcelona booked. See you soon. J
Great photos, Gill! And I love Jake's John Deere cap (still think that was some gift from the cosmos). It was SO great to talk to you the other day ... and I'll be toasting you and Harv this weekend from Emma Lake. xox
Que hiking if Jacob likes climbing up next time here he could try the grouse mountain grind! It sounds like the two of you are having so much fun....you'll miss him after being togetherfor so long. So now look forward to your next bit together. Do you meet up in the maratimes
We have james wife Arleda and. 12 yr old son, Finn with us for a bit so its time to be tourists in vancouver.
The Langley gang are on their way eastward....your mom will be full of happy anticipation.
Thinking of you with love
J xoxo
Ottawa You two should start a separate list of modes of transportation you take on this adventure.....kayaks, bikes.....
My only question....what is the beaver tail you are eating, Jacob?
good night and sweet dreams back to you...with love
Beaver Tail Jake's back with his dad so he can't explain, but doesn't it look ridiculous. Beaver tail is a love deep fried concoction covered in sugar and spice or chocolate, or the upiquitous maple syrop. It was lovely, for those of us who eat sweets. Love you lots. Gillian

The canal Too bad about the rain but it sounded as if this was a very special and magical paddling trip. I had no idea how extensive, and beautiful it is. I really do need to check out my Canadian geography. Jacob will during have this part of the country imprinted in his brain. Looks like the two of you are having the best time. Thinking of you both. with much love
au quebec! I lived in Trois Rivieres et Sept Iles and miss the St. Laurence and nature. Quebec really has a wealth of forest and lakes-rivers! :) Hope that you continue to find amazing journies. Bet doing the Dao Yin in nature has some great applications for sense memories.
Quebec Had no idea the countryside was as spectacular. Quebec City looks like you've already arrived in Europe. How goes the French conversations? much love J and D
I am a teacher of an outdoor education grade eight classroom. I am taking a year off to travel with my 12 year old son. We will be tourists, volunteer teachers, volunteer archaeology and community service workers, as well as forest conservationists.... full info
