Bears, Moose, Waterfalls and a Cathedral

Every few days, it is time to give the body rest and a chance to recover from some intense training or racing. It is these days that allow for some more time to get out and have a look at the wonderful new places, sights, attractions and in general just broaden the horizons!



This is one of the larger waterfalls in the area 74m long.




















There were three swing bridges crossing the canyon, this one was the highest!




















These guys are huge, this is actual size, apparently they cause a lot of damage on Canadian roads.
















This fella was actually quite cuddly, I’m quite happy not to have seen a real one yet, they are out there!

















And of course I had to pop a cathedral in, just for good measure! This is the Sainte-Anne De-Beaupre’ Basillica, it is down in the valley, at the bottom of the hill from where we are staying.

Barry and I enjoyed hearing about your progress on Skype. Sounds like you are busy. From the photos it does look like you are getting a chance to take in some of the sights. The size of that moose makes me think it is something you wouldn't want to confront on a bike ride. Eek .. Enjoy our time and good luck.

Maybe you need one of these bears chasing you around the course, then you'll certainly blitz the field!
