We Bought a Boat

So as you now know, we bought a boat, a sailboat at that! We have a life plan and that is we’re going sailing on it for a long time. Now is the time to show you what Sava looks like inside and out!

Cycling Tour Quebec: Yamaska to Magog

The third day of our tour of Quebec, cycling Yamaska to Magog for 54 kilometers, took 3 hours. Our route took us through some pretty mountainous terrain from Yamaska Park to just outside of the town of Magog.

Leaving Yamaska

We enjoyed our night in Yamaska, took the long way biking out of the park, and then biked on to our next stop: an Airbnb near Magog for 2 nights.

Cycling The Eastern Townships Near Granby Quebec

Day 2 was going to be one of our “easy” days. After our late start but long bike on Monday (+/-80K), we were going to provision and explore the local parks. We were even booked to stay in a park on a lake that very night! The day was warm and partly sunny (yay clouds!) and we were ready for cycling the Eastern Townships near Granby Quebec. Parks, nature, art: it’s all on offer outdoors in this beautiful part of Canada!

Cycling Through Granby

From our Airbnb, we stopped off in the town of Granby. It’s so pretty and full of bike paths. There’s a little river and waterfall, and lots of pretty views. We stopped for photos frequently and it was a beautiful day to do it!
