My sister who lives in Kingston, Ontario...
... and the latest, the adorable Adrien (1 yr-old)!
The whole family drove to Saguenay...
... to assist the wedding
... of our lovely niece Maryssa!
On board the ferry (St-Siméon)...
... towards the ''Gaspésie National Park''
... where we've rented a nice cottage, along with my sister Josée & Denis!
Let's go for it!!!
A constant...
... 2.5-mi. climb!
We reach...
... the Jacques-Cartier peak,
... the second tallest peak in Quebec,
... at the altitude of 4165 ft!
A little lunch before...
... we walk our way back!!!
Another challenge...
... 10.5 mi.!
A sustained ascent of more than 2 hours!
An altitude of 3500 ft!
Mount Albert...
... and its plateau!!!
Getting our energy back...
... before we head
... towards our way down
... into the ''Vallée du Diable'' (Devil's Valley)!
Yes, yes... It is REAL snow!!!
Experiencing one of the very rare hot days (11 days/yr) into the Chics-Chocs Mountains Range...
... it feels real good to cool ourselves off
... in order to end this 8-hour long hike!!!
We walk up...
... this splendid lighthouse to get
... this magnificent view on Pointe-au-Père (Rimouski)!
Because of thick fog on the St. Lawrence River...
... this cruise ship ''Empress of Ireland'' (1477 passengers)
... sank in 1914
... when the Storstad ship
... collided with it!
1012 people died...
... of which 134 children!!! :-(
On visite le sous-marin canadien ''Onondaga''!
We visit the Canadian submarine ''Onondaga''!
With the help of individual phones,...
... one tells us
... about the utility use
... and what some specific equipment aboard were used for!
Here, we watch the surroundings...
It takes a good ''Cook'' to feed a 70-men crew...
... within this very narrow space!
Complete bathroom, shower included!!!
Intimacy... don't even think about it!
In spite of all that, they find their way for entertainment!
We end this visit into the torpedoes room!
En cette belle journée d'automne, une jolie promenade au ''Vieux-Port''... avec ma Maman!!!
On this beautiful autumnal day, what about a nice walk at the ''Old-Port''... with my Mom!!!
Always painful when fall comes... to having to leave my ''Loved Ones'' behind!!! :-(
