Les Īles de la Madeleine Family Cruise: August 8 -15, 2014
Introduction
Last year the Bowman family travelled
to Quebec City by train. Certainly it was a pleasure travelling
with Samuel who was 31/2 then as he was very excited to learn
about trains. This year we thought he could transfer this
enthusiasm to boats. Right! His excitement and never-ending
questions kept us all energized.
Samuel with his Maman and Papa, Karine and Kirk, and his 21 month
old brother, David, joined us, his grandparents, and his Uncle
Grant on a cruise to les Īles de la Madeleine... a journey from
Montreal to the mouth of the Saint Lawrence River and then into
the Gulf, towards Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton Island.
We travelled with CTMA: http://www.croisieresctma.ca/en/
Interestingly the CTMA staff is from les Īles, so they
introduced us to the spirited island culture, including Acadian
traditions.
