The last week and a half has been crazy...painful and joyously amazing seemingly almost simultaneously. Presently I'm on a mission to MEC to get a new tire and tube for Rainer, as he is showering and Brad is busy with aiding our gracious host Isabelle with her French homework...I thus volunteered to fetch the tire as to speed along our departure this AM. However, MEC does not open until 10...how convenient. With over a thousand km behind us, nova scotia, nb and half of Quebec...we are feeling quite accomplished, yet very sore. 750+ km in 6 days will do that to a somewhat unprepared human body I am now certain. Last evening was spent in utter amazement, as has much of this trip, at the generosity and overwhelming hospitality of the people of this country, or at least the ones we have come in contact with. After which dinner, a stroll through la vielle ville and espresso and crepes at a creperie finished off our night in one of the most memorable spots on our trip for sure. The feeling of marvel which this city stirs in me is quite unexplainable but perhaps it is related to the historical substance with which it most certainly brimming (pictures to come of surfing on a rather large gunpowder ordinance will explain my fascination I am sure).
As my thoughts are a jumble and it is quite trying to gather coherent and inclusive statements about individual events which have occurred in the past few days, I will venture to sum the entirety of our trip thus far by saying that our country provides, for myself, arguably some of the most breathtaking views of nature possible as well as a sample of the most remarkable people to converse with along the way; thus far quite an incomparable, fabulous combination...until next time...
