Saguenay Quebec Canada

We stopped here on our way to Montreal.  I had an excursion to a goat farm.  I was hoping to see how the wool was processed and hopefully buy some Angora yarn.  It was a miserable and rainy day.  We saw goats, we saw how the wool was processed, but I didn't like the wool.  It was rather ho hum.  A lot of bus riding for not a lot to see.  We went to a museum and saw a painted house by I forgot who.  They wouldn't let us take pictures. 















We returned to this port for the new segment. I’m glad we did because if I didn’t get to see what I saw today I would’ve been very unhappy. Going to a goat farm didn’t do it for me!


The weather was blustery: cold, rainy, windy – – not the kind of whether you want to go walking around in although that’s what Michael did this morning, looking like an Eskimo all bundled up. He gets stir crazy and can’t sit because he has ants in his pants and decided he had to do an errand for me, which he didn’t have to do, but because of the ants in his pants and because he loves me he got me something for my runny nose.

The excursion today was a show called La Fabulouse, which Michael saw the last time we were here and just raved about it. Everyone else who saw it also raved about it so of course yours truly had to see it, as well as 600 of our closest friends on the ship 😜

OMG, this was the best. It is a history of the area put on by the local folks, is  eye-popping and very unusual. I have included a video link that gives a highlight of what we saw. The show has been in production for 32 years.


















And whenever the ship has an excursion with large quantities of people, the crew lines up and greets us as we return like conquering heroes.
