Montréal, Ottawa, Lac St. Paul

2022 April

 

We flew into Montréal (YUL) and spent a fortnight with family, enjoying Montréal’s cuisine, art museums, crafts; as well as enabling comparison between Vancouver’s best bagels and those of Montréal.

 

"Mountains" - Nicolas Party

 

We spent two nights in Ottawa, with a walk along the Rideau Canal and an afternoon and evening in Byward Market; then spent a couple of days in the Québec Laurentians, where we relaxed beside Lac St. Paul, and visited Lac de la Montagne and Chutes Windigo, snowshoeing in beautiful sunshine.

 

 

 

From here we returned to Montréal to catch a flight to Halifax, whence to Wolfville for the first part of 2 weeks in Nova Scotia.

 

 

Our next stages of the trip:

 

We’re now in Wolfville, visiting family here for a fortnight.
