This journey is about our experiences of the Quebec province in the vicinity of the Saint Lawrence River, the Canadian Maritime provinces of Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia, and two northeast U.S. ports on the Atlantic Ocean coast. The Saint Lawrence River is a large waterway connecting the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean. The river flows approximately from southwest to northeast. Our trip on the river began at Montreal on a cruise ship. From Montreal, we sailed to Quebec City, then on to Saguenay, Baie Comeau and Gaspe, where we entered the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. We continued to Charlottetown, and then into the Atlantic where we docked at the ports of Halifax, Bar Harbor and Boston.
Quebec City is the capitol of Quebec province and dates back to 1608.
In our opinion, the Saint Anne Basilica was the most beautiful church that we have ever visited.
In 1936, Baie Comeau was formed when Robert McCormick, the publisher of the Chicago Tribune, constructed a paper mill.
Our Colorado sculpture artist and friend Mike Halterman did the bronze sculpture and bench of Sir John McDonald, Canada’s first prime minister.
Our Boston visit was a short tour before proceeding to the airport for our return flight home. In the past we have been to Boston more than a half dozen times for business and pleasure.
