On the 10th anniversary of my first arrival in Canada last year, I made it to the only Canadian province I had never been before: Saskatchewan. When I told people that I was going to Saskatchewan, they usually looked at me funny and then asked why. I simply said, because I’ve never been, which is…… Continue reading The Wonders of Southwestern Saskatchewan
The 11 Best National Parks in Canada I’ve Ever Been
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
Sometimes when I’m wrong, I’m very, very wrong. Case in point: I was so sure we didn’t stay in Cavendish the last time we were in Prince Edward Island (PEI) 10 years ago, but one look into my blog archive and I found out that yes, we sure did stay in Cavendish! And yet, we…… Continue reading A Sunset Drive in Cavendish, Prince Edward Island

Perce and Île Bonaventure: Birds, Boats, and Beyond
Some places you just know you’re going to love even before you’ve ever been there. Percé is one of those places for me. 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
4-Tea-C: My Own Tea B&W Film Developer Recipe
I’ve seen a rising interest on my tea b&w film developer post lately and realized that I never did post my recipe here. It has been a while since I actually developed a roll of film with it, but this recipe worked when I did use it. Your mileage may vary. Ingredients (to make 500ml):…… Continue reading 4-Tea-C: My Own Tea B&W Film Developer Recipe
