L'Acropole


L'Acropole des draveurs is a mountain 1080 m high in Charlevoix. It is composed of three rocky cliff peaks overlooking the Hautes-gorges-de-la-riviere-Malbaie area. Two weeks ago, Renee, mom and I set out to hike to the top!
After 5 kilometers of uphill path, we reached the first peak. From here, we had to walk on the top of the cliff, among the sub-arctic vegetation. At the highest point, is is a full 10 degrees colder than at the bottom of the mountain! That is where we stopped for lunch.

A week with Pierre and Sharon


School has ended and mom, Renée, and I are in the Saguenay to visit. We spent a much too short week with Pierre and Sharon, crammed with a lot of action! Between go-karting, the zoo, Tadoussac, kayaking, hiking, and swimming, we barely had time to sit down to play cards!
