I’m a big fan of national parks and I’ve been to some of the best national parks in Canada as well as Iceland and Scotland. Whenever there is one close to where I am and I have the time to visit it, I will visit it. My logic is, there must be something very special…… Continue reading The 11 Best National Parks in Canada I’ve Ever Been

A Lovely, Sunny Day in Forillon National Park, Gaspésie, Québec
We went to Forillon National Park in Gaspesie, Québec (Quebec’s first national park) as part of our Québec road trip to celebrate our 10th anniversary. It took us about 90 minutes of driving to get there from where we were staying in Percé, but when you live in a country as big as Canada, 90…… Continue reading A Lovely, Sunny Day in Forillon National Park, Gaspésie, Québec
A Sunset Drive in Cavendish, Prince Edward Island

Every time I saw a picture of Percé Rock, I fell more and more in love with the idea of visiting it. Of course I had to add it into our Québec…… Continue reading Perce and Île Bonaventure: Birds, Boats, and Beyond
A Visit to the Beautiful Magdalen Islands, Quebec
I had been wanting to visit Iles-de-la-Madeleine (Magdalen Islands) ever since I saw some beautiful pictures of it that someone posted to Flickr about three years ago. We already made the decision to go to Iceland by then so the idea to visit the islands just stayed in the back of my mind, up until…… Continue reading A Visit to the Beautiful Magdalen Islands, Quebec
