After travelling for three years (since first arriving in Central America) in the company of Jo, Theo’s school tutor and our technician, it was very sad to see him leave on Saturday at the airport of Montreal. So sad in fact that we couldn’t stay behind, in Montreal, and decided to go back on the road straight away, direction West.

After an other stop at our friends Dave and Mary, where we pickup Theo school work and a few letters from Europe, we are now driving, driving, driving….

It is a long way to BC

Quebec,the town, was amaizing and it is really only the cold that made us decide to head toward British Colombia.

We were able to park on the Marina, thanks to Patto and Julie, who also have been travelling for the past ten years doing shows, and the last few of them, in a sailing boat.

All the artist there made us feel really welcome and the circus school opened their door to us.They, also, were very warm people. It felt like such a luxury to be able to train all week in this beautifull space , and to be taught Flying trapeze by Pierre and Guy. We didn’t want to leave anymore but The dreadfull cold…

After Quebec, meeting with Marie Claude Bouillon from la Luna Caballera, and working with her for the village fiesta of Notre Dame du Rosaire, was a very enriching  and pleasing experience.

We are now on the way to Montreal

 

we are now back in Quebec as the first time around, we only crossed it to be in time for Kingston.

After the stress of the big city of Toronto, we needed some fresh air and some nice people to surround us so we could reenergised.

What best then to go and stay with Mary and Dave from Avalon motor and even better when our friend Mamsel (which we met in Mexico) and her friend Simon decided to visit us on that same night. They ended up staying 6 days and we had a lovely time.

Leaving on Saturday afternoon made it hard to organise a show for the week end, but late on Sunday we found a campground and were able to do our show that same night.

It was a lazy drive to Sherbrooke with lots of stops for swims, golf and lunches.

We are now meeting other artists and trying to decide our futur step. Will we brave a winter here or head West or even better South??
