Oh, Canada.

Well, folks, I'm home. Camping with my son was as fun and challenging as ever. Canada continued her unique hospitality; daily rain for a half hour or so, chilly evenings, great food, exciting history, and the nicest, kindest people I've ever had the pleasure to meet.

Some highlights included homemade bread for campsite toast, inside information on a wonderful chocolatier on Île d'Orléans, thirty stories of steps at Chute de Montmorency, the Citadelle, Bistro Sous le Fort, an out of the way fromagerie outside of Trois Rivieres, the Montreal Jazz Festival, Chaka Khan, Soul Live, Streetnix, Whipcream, Vasti Jackson. And last but not least, Jacques, Jocelyn, Viola, Gwen, Glenda, Ku, Micheline, Elodie, Catherine, and Daniel and his family.

Thank you, Canada and new friends!

I am...Tanned. Rested. Ready.
