Canada #1 – Scarecrows, scenery and scarlet coats in Bromont

Dear friends, The last part of my North American tour was over the border into Canada, to Quebec to be more precise, and to Bromont to be really exact!  I visited my friends Andree and Denis here in the summer two years ago to help celebrate their wedding and what a pleasure to visit again [...]

USA #3 – Lake Champlain and the road trip

Bromont, Quebec, Canada #2

Dear friends, Before and after the wedding of friends Andree and Denis, we had the chance to look around the environs of Bromont, the town where they live.  With just 9,000 inhabitants it is a small town but with skiing and nature trails all around, it welcomes nearly 2 million visitors each year.
