Category Archives: North America In case anyone was wondering why Bruno and I raced across Canada this summer, wonder no more – it was to join our families on a road trip to Nova Scotia! Several months later, I reminisce about the amazing memories our three RVs created as we left our tracks across one my country’s loveliest provinces.  Despite living among – and loving – Acadians almost my entire life, I knew very little about their history and culture. All that changed this summer with an eye-opening experience at the fabulous Village Historique Acadien near Caraquet, New Brunswick. Highly recommended!  For as long as I can remember, arriving home meant smelling it. Except this year. This year, I smelled it ages earlier, during our cross-Canadian road trip. And it forced me to redefine what home really means.  People come to the Gaspé Peninsula to visit a place that holds a unique place in Canada’s story. Located at the very tip of continental Canada, it has that “end-of-the-road” feel to it. The Gaspé Peninsula calls out from afar to curious travelers, but you truly have to want to come here to be here. We heard the call and came. And we’re glad we did.  There’s been an abnormal radio-silence on Wandering Footsteps these past few weeks. What better way to explain our absence than with a 6-week wrap-up? This post takes us through Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, brings us home and in the arms of family, and wraps-up an 11-month North American loop! |
