I am consistently amazed at how beautiful your part of the world is.

My husband and I took the train across Canada from Gaspe to Prince Rupert a few years ago and we just loved it. Trains are a great way to travel, I think, but I can see that it makes a wonderful place to hike, too, and explore the beauty close up.Hollacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00916548022979567056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-10536678774226865322011-03-07T09:55:20.160-08:002011-03-07T09:55:20.160-08:00Looks like you had a great day exploring our beaut...Looks like you had a great day exploring our beautiful province.
