Saguenay. Canada

An old town settled by trappers and fishermen with the assistance of Jesuit priests in 1640 or thereabouts, Saguenay was a welcoming community of about 140,000 souls.  They decked out n period costumes to provide a welcome to Azamara visitors (tourists equals money to the town).

We were greeted with fresh blueberry pie, a sawing demonstration, maple syrup and smiles abound.





And I scored goat wool, spun and wound.  Beautiful!

  10. That is a part of the world I have always found fascinating, in my imagination and reading, that is... I've never been to eastern Canada. It looks like you are making the most of a wonderful opportunity!
