1 Before go further, this
is the place where we passed our 2 days of honeymoon, yes
!! 2 days only, thanks to DO, it’s not only is
fault, the boss have their fault too. Comeback to the
nice Inn, Auberge des Trois Erables in Wakefield, a
suburb of Ottawa, very nice. We took the train from Hull
for Wakefield, by the way, it’s the same train that
Pierce Brosman take in the movie GREY OWL, but we took it
before him. |
2 This is the paradise I
told you about earlier, Val-des-Monts (Perkins). A nice
little dream corner, at 15 minutes from Gatineau, where I
used to work. A town with 70 lakes, the river where we
used to swim was at 2 minutes from the house, by foot.
Upstream of the river was a lake, you see Jeep and me
near the lake. The country, nature, cows, flies, deer,
bears, mosquito, groundhogs, … near the house. The
price of the house are lower than Gatineau, Hull or
Ottawa.

3 You
can see what the house in Perkins look like when my wife
fall in love with it. I never notice it. When the paint
and revamp the house and the land, she was beginning to
be respectable. We only paid this house $55 000 CND with
2 acres of land, on top of a hill. We had to sell before
leaving for Italy, because nobody want to rent a house of
this size. It will be nice to keep it, but that’s
the way it is.

4 This is the two lovers
of my wife and by the way also mine. Black and a little
white and very wrapped, it’s Micha. The gray and
white, it’s Mouna. They had the three floors of our
house to walk and they often came to see me, when I
worked in the 3-rd floor. |
5 After the presentation
of our two lovers, here are their playing fields, is
inside of Perkins's house. You can notice the magnificent
Christmas tree in the corner of our living room, at the
moment it’s in our living room in Milan, in June,
because it’s artificial and fill an empty apartment.
You have the library I built with my hands for necessity,
because the books were getting out of ours ears. The
image you see in the library is a window on the outside,
really beautiful. |
6 The following pictures
were taken outside Perkins’s house. The freezing
rain on spruces is a souvenir of the first ice storm
which deprived us of electricity during 15 days. And the
magnificent colors of the autumn in Perkins. |
7 Here is the last city
on Canada I cover in this report. Because I don’t
have photo on the rest of Canada at the moment in Italy,
I make with what I have. For Toronto, I have only a photo
and some post cards, to end this small document. I have a
photo of us with the falls in Niagara Falls in February.
I have to admit, we have to be crazy to go there in
winter, it’s like Gaspesie, there’s nobody
there in February. |
8 On this sad note, we
return where we come from, you are not obliged to take
Air Canada, my last experience indicates to me that the
luggage maybe won’t go at the same place as you. The
next American trip will be a part of the United States. |
