Tuesday, September 05, 2006 Summer's over At Miguasha National Park near the town of Nouvelle. We have a great trip up through the Gaspé region last week. It was basically a road trip -- we stayed in a different bed-and-breakfeast each day -- and included a lot of hiking and time outdoors. The towns visited included: La Malbaie, Baie Ste. Catherine, Riviere-du-Loup, Rimouski, Ste. Anne-des-Monts, Gaspé, Percé, Bonaventure, Caplan, New Carlisle, New Richmond, Amqui and Kamouraska. Among the sights we saw and activities we did were: whale-watching in Tadoussac, hiking up Mount Albert, touring the Jardins de Métis, visiting the Percé rock, touring Bonaventure Island, visiting the Gaspé Museum, visiting the Acadian Québecers museum, visiting the Miguasha National Park, and touring historic Kamouraska. The trip ranks as among the best I have taken. I especially enjoyed travelling along Hwy. 132, seeing little village after little village along the St. Lawrence. Rural Québec is majestic and beautiful. One hears this constantly, but it is quite another thing to see it in person. My favourite part of the trip, though, was the food. I tasted for the first time such animals as emu and caribou. We also picked up a whole bunch of products from the region, including raspberry wine and a host of new maple products that I didn't even know existed, such as maple pepper and maple tea. Now, back to the real world. # posted by Adam Daifallah : 7:32 AM    << Home   National Post peeps RSS - Syndicate me! Andrew Coyne J.
