Iles-de-la-Madeleine, QC



Beautiful Iles-de-la-Madeleine...

At the end of that long day walking to Etang-du-Nord and back, ~30km, taking pictures that turned out mediocre because of the humidity, looking for Pas Perdus, exhausted to the bone... we sat at this restaurant... And here I was moved by the joie de vivre of the people of this tiny island...

Several from the audience took turns playing the guitar and singing, but the whole restaurant joined... It was a very sentimental moment... for the first time in a long long time, I paused and questioned my draw to the hustle and bustle of city life. I still maintain Montreal people are very very nice... but I could live in a small house on the beach of Iles-de-la-Madeleine... I think... :)
