Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia.

Back to Canada.

First up, Montreal, Quebec.  

It was really fun to finally make it to the French speaking province.

We arrived in Montreal in a rain storm.  Its a beautiful city.











Montreal has a big Circus presence, it was where Cirque de Sole was started.  There is a great trapeze school called the Trapezeium.  We could not pass up the chance to take a class.

Richard was a wiz at the Trapeze.






I was not so smooth at it and took a little longer to get the hang of things.










After a grand time in Montreal we were off towards Quebec City.  Along the way we stopped off for a ride at Mont Arthabaskas.





The trails were great fun.  The plastic lines you see running through the trees are for collecting sap for maple syrup.



Arriving in Quebec City.

This was one of the most beautiful citys in Canada.  























Back on the road.  Driving north in Quebec, on the banks of the St. Laurence River.  It was amazing how large it was.  




After a few hours following the river we turned east and inland towards New Brunswick.  Interior Quebec was quite beautiful.





Welcome to New Brunswick!

I had heard of a fun little bike park with trails built by Whistlers Gravity Logic, and sure enough we found a little gem in New Brunswick.

After a rad day in the park, it was on to Nova Scotia!




We had dinner in New Glasgow. 


Traveling north through Nova Scotia.

 














Finally!  Time to take the ferry to Newfoundland!
