 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!      Of all the wildlife encounters I’ve had (and there have been many!), spotting whales has always been one of my favourite. It was no surprise, then, that when I learned that we could see beluga whales in Quebec’s Fjord du Saguenay, or any of thirteen species of whale in the Saint Lawrence River, I was in!  I have been to twenty African countries; I’ve slept on deserted islands in the South Pacific; and I have trekked in jungles in Asia and South America. After almost two months in this country, I can safely say that never have I ever experienced a wilderness so wild as in Canada.
 I used to think the Prairie Provinces were the armpit of Canada. I’m not quite sure where this bias came from, but I’m now ashamed of it. I’ve now been to the Prairies, and I’ve been proven wrong.  It’s a good year to do a road trip across Canada. It’s the sesquicentennial, the 150th birthday of the country. In fact, today is Canada Day! As we crossed through three Canadian provinces this month, we witnessed evidence of Canada’s special birthday as we got to know new corners of the country. Happy Canada Day! |

Freya Gnerre - Hi Bruno and Brittany, Really enjoyed the latest blog! Beautiful pictures. I’m off to Europe in a couple of weeks for the month of September, so will be catching up on your blogs when I return October 1. And, of course, Louise is off to Africa. It’s getting harder to keep track of where everyone is. Enjoy the family visit. Much love, Auntie Freya
Brittany - Whereabouts are you headed? I think we will just miss one another, as Bruno arrives in Europe on October 1st, and me 11 days later! Too bad – but enjoy your trip! 🙂
Lisa Sharples - Hi Britt: As always your blog put a smile on my face. The lifestyle you’ve chosen is enviable. Travelling by road takes longer than by plane but you get to see much more & you can choose where to take in the culture and scenery. So great that both families could come together and go one a RV adventure. Nice to see how much more convenient your RV is for cooking. I’m sure that the extra space compensates for the 2 times you got stuck in the mud..haha
I’m sure that Nathan & Aracelli will just make it that much more fun. Hi to all xoxox
Brittany - One of the things I love the most about traveling by road is that you appreciate your arrival at your destination so much more once you get there!
We are definitely loving our Big Blue Bus – we just need to remember that we’re not quite as light and agile as with Totoyaya! I’m sticking to main roads from now on, haha!!
Mimika - Whaou notre RV tour est number 1 pour tes highlights du mois! Génial, nous c’est no 1 pour les highlights de l’année !!! On s’est vraiment régalés… Vivement notre rencontre du mois d’octobre. Bisous et à bientôt sur “les acadiens tabernacle”
Brittany - Je pense aussi que c’est un de nos highlighs de l’annee! Ca a valu chaqu’un de nos 10,000km pour nous rendre chez vous!! Bisous et a bientot!
Remy - Merci Brit pour de nous faire partager tout ça…
Brittany - Bientot je mettrai un blog tout simplement sur notre voyage VR avec Pat et Mimi et il y aura pleinnnnnnn de photos! 🙂
