Go on a road trip

I chose the 30 nicest photos of my trip and put them on the site. Just click on my photos and see my “photos of goals” if you want.

Leave your comments! :)

Since nobody told me how to put goal pictures here, I’ll provide you the link to my personal MSN space, where I’ve put the pictures of my road trip.

Click on this link and then choose the album on the middle, with 108 pictures.

Leave your comments here, if you ever take a look. :)

To anybody that knows… How can we upload photos of goals? You know, when you click on “Photos”, you have my photos and the photos of goals… How can I upload these?

I’ll fill you with pictures I took soon enough! I drove on approximatly 3500 km and took near of a hundred pictures (well, my gf took the most of them… lol!)

Here’s a little summary of the trip:

friday, 5 PM

I left my office and got into my car.  The first part of the trip was to take my gf at her home.  After a couple kilometers, I realized that I forgot my vest and returned to my office.  LOL!

friday, 8 PM

I arrived at my gf's home and we left without losing any time!

friday 9 PM

We arrived in Quebec City and got to our room in a motel of Beauport.  After that, I'll spare the details... lol!

saturday 10 AM

We left Quebec City in the north direction.  We stopped by Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré to visit the famous cathedral, but I've been a little disappointed.

saturday 11 AM

We arrived in Baie-Saint-Paul and visited the downtown and the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Street (third most nice street in Canada).

saturday 1 PM

We visited Les Éboulements and Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rive.  It's huge!  And the view on the St-Lawrence is wonderful.

saturday 3 PM

We took the cross boat to Tadoussac.  We had a nice view of the entrance of the fjord du Saguenay.

saturday 4 PM

We were sat on the rocks of the Grandes-Bergeronnes, watching the whales getting out of the water once in a while.

saturday 6 PM

We arrived in Saguenay.  We visited this superb city.  (In fact, I showed to my GF what my hometown looks like... lol!)

saturday 10 PM

We got to the Motel Richelieu in Jonquière.  For those who want a nice little motel, clean and neat... don't go there, please!

sunday 10 AM

We left the motel in the direction of the Lac-Saint-Jean.  We took approximatly 3 hours to make the entire turn.

sunday 1 PM

We took the Réserve Faunique des Laurentides, a long road accross a long forest who seems eternal.  Nice, but too long.

sunday 4 PM

We arrived in Quebec City (once again) but we immediately left for Rimouski.

sunday 8 PM

We arrived in Rimouski.  It is more far than I expected.  Still, it's a wonderful city!  We ate and got to the Motel de la Mer (really nice, this one).

monday 10 AM

After an excellent breakfast (I got my pancakes!!!  Woohoo!!!), we took the road to Gaspesia.  The landscapes are incredibles.  Indescriptibles!  I'll put some pictures in a near future.

monday 4 PM

We arrived in Percé.  For those who don't know what there is to see in Percé, check out on Google Images: Rocher Percé.  That's amazing!

monday 10 PM

We arrived (Finally!!!) at our motel of Causapscal, and we were dead of tiredness.  It was the Motel du Vallon.  Not bad, for the low price!  And since we made the road of the Vallée de la Matapédia during the evening, we couldn't see the mountains.  That's just too bad...

Tuesday 10 AM

We got up, had our breakfast and left.

Tuesday 2 PM

I left my GF at her home in Saint-Jean-Port-Joli.  That was another sad "Good-Bye"...

Tuesday 3 PM

Oh my God, listen to this...  I stopped by a little road halt on the highway to go to the toilet, and forgot my keys in my locked car!  There was only a little crack in my window but my arm was too fat to enter it.  An old man came to see me and I started to explain my problem to him (in french, of course!) and he replied in english.  I was too annoyed to speak english and thought "Oh no... what will I do?"  But the old man (From Sudbury, Ontario) was pretty kind and was speaking slowly so that I could understand well.  So I spoke to him in english too, and I was surprised to see how my english speaking was... not so bad!  Not excellent at all, but not so bad!  Together, we managed to force the window a little out so my arm could pass, and I finally got to unlock my door.  I was so grateful!  So for those who are doubting: YES, nice people still exist!

Tuesday 5 PM

Got back home.  That was a wonderful trip, but I'm pretty happy to be back, too.  I'll sleep in my bed tonight, wow!!!

I’m leaving today! At 5 PM! Can’t wait… :)

My car’s ready too. I estimated the distance I’ll drive until tuesday with Mapquest, and it should be around 3000 kilometers! This is a lot more than I thought… LOL! But this is going to be fun! My GF is pretty excited too.

I’m starting right after work, at 5 PM, next friday. I’ll be on the road for the next five days with my girlfriend. We’re going in Quebec City, Lake St-Jean, Gaspesia and a couple of other nice places to discover. Can’t wait, I’m getting pretty nervous!

I’m going to make the hotel reservations tomorrow.

Alright! It’s scheduled. On the 6-7 october weekend, I’m going on a roadtrip across the province of Quebec with the girl I love. It is surely the best way to discover new places and have a lot of fun.
