It’s been a while already….but how unforgettable!

We’ve been quite mellow these last weeks, but one of the main highlight of our summer was to have Rene & Carmela with us for 2 weeks. We were extra excited driving up to Montreal to pick them up at the airport! Time always flies when you’re having fun, so the 14 days went by as quick as lightning, but we did enjoy them as most we could.

We took them for a stroll in old Quebec city, went to a fireworks show, to a nearby park to go down a river in canoes. Then we left for a little trip: 2 days in a chalet by a lake lost in the woods where we saw a black bear and her 2 cute cubs, camping in a national park where a moose and her calf said hello, then up the St-Lawrence river to observe belugas and whales. Met a deer, then found a super camping place right by the river where we beached for a couple days before taking the ferry across to another park to see the local seals. Never seen so many wild animals in so little time here, they really did coordinate super for the swiss!

We came back home to wash our clothes and so our friends could do some shopping (only food stuff, the gluttons). And then the highlight of their visit: we went 3 days canoe-camping. Ah, the undescribable feeling of being alone on the lake with only the loons as neighbours…. Roasting marshmallows on the fire at night and going for a dip in the cool water when you wake up…. Now THAT`s life!
