Saturday morning’s run was back on Île Bizard. I wanted to see the rest of the trail that we started last weekend. And, instead of parking, I was dropped off. I figured I would be about an hour so dP… Continue Reading →
Here’s a term to remember: the Hochelaga Archipelago (archipel d’Hochelaga). This is where a group of islands that formed at the confluence of the Saint Lawrence and Ottawa Rivers. Why is this important? These islands are massive and one is… Continue Reading →
Five years ago when I first visited Naples, I don’t remember Kayaks on the Water being on Alamitos Bay. Instead there was a business that offered gondola rides around Naples Island… both during the day and at night… with wine… Continue Reading →
