Back Home from my 67th Trip to Limburg in The Netherlands

 Just to leave a token of being alive and well...

Yes, on Friday, June 17 by 19:30 I got home with our private driver (in our own car) from the Savannah Airport.

I'd flown in at JFK New York on Delta Airlines 49, earlier and then the Delta flight to Savannah, Georgia.

Pieter was happy and so was I!

And of course our kitties...

This sweet note from my Pieter awaited me:

LL—Lieve Lieverd or Dear Sweetheart in English...

Together with these Red Roses... neatly arranged in our Wedgwood Cream Color on Cream Color vase.

Detail...

Two days later I'd arranged them in a different Wedgwood Cream Color on Cream Color compote bowl.

Of course teamed up with our rose linen table cloth...

More about my trip later.

This was the 2nd time that Pieter and I have been separated for some 3 weeks...

When he went in March/April, 1987 to China for People to People Citizen Ambassador Program.

Also then, I went solo to Limburg for being with family and friends.

Canyon Sainte Anne — Québec, Canada

On August 15 we also drove to the Canyon Sainte Anne, about half an hour driving distance from Québec City.

Waterfall at Sainte Anne is 75 meters and 15 meters higher than the Niagara Falls.

It looked inviting to both of us...

Way at the top is the McNicoll Bridge

Below is the Mestachibo Bridge

At the lowest point of the gorge is the Laurent Bridge

Both of us are not afraid of heights so we were game for walking across!

We did climb 187 steps down and up again... for reaching the Laurent Bridge at the bottom of the Canyon.

Here you see where we walked and crossed the lower and the highest bridge.

Those were all suspension bridges that hung from swirling cables.

To the right you see those steps for reaching the highest suspension bridge.

We also went to all those overhanging decks.

Why is the water brown?

Due to all the metals in the water.

Here we went and walked all the bridges across the Canyon.Beautiful nature as well.This became open to the public since 1973.

Have any of you visited there?

Montmorency Falls Park Québec, Canada

 From Québec City I drove to Montmorency, not that far away from the outskirts of Québec City, QC

After climbing the 487 steps to the Montmorency waterfall we looked around.

The Saint Lawrence River is seen to the left of me with bridge.

Parc de la Chute–Montmorency

Montmorency Falls Park

We walked and climbed the 487 steps for reaching the high bridge you see above the falls in top image.

Going down by cable cart

What a mighty sight in the dark...

Pieter at first stated that it was no 'that' impressive, while walking down in the flat area.

Then starting to climb the 487 steps, he changed his mind.

Once we reached the top and walking that bridge the perspective changed quite a bit!

This 6:57 minute video shows our climb up the steps and the view from above.We of course took a break at the restaurant, shown at the beginning of the video to the left on top.We also walked the bridge across the falls. Quite impressive and then we took the cable cart down with beautiful view of part of the Montmorency River, the Falls are the last stop before the water drains into the Saint Lawrence River, as seen also on the top photo.
Stay tuned for our next adventure...
