Hi folks,at the moment we are staying in a public library in The Pas (Manitoba) having a stop over on our tour towards Riding Mountain National Parc. The last week we spent in Northern Sasketchewan with Miriam and Quincy. Miriam is the daughter of a colleague of Sabine. She emigrated to Canada five years ago and earns her money now as a psychologist, a visual artist and a tour guide. When her Canadian husband is not looking after one of the seventeen sled dogs he is maintaining aircrafts. Both offer wilderness trips, in summer with canoes, in winter with dogsleds. When you are interested in such kind of adventure we would recommend to have a look on their homepage: www.pawsandpaddles.com (www.tobiaskoerner.de/canoetours.html).
It is very impressive to see how smart and brave they have realized every one of their dreams. The nice big house on the picture for instance was built by themselves as laymen (Laien). All needed operational skills they really took out of books.
In the last week we were accommodated in a small log cabin (6 m²) which was also built by themselves as the first project of their love affair. They call the cabin "little house". And this expression is well chosen when you know that they lived in it for 18 months with no shower and toilet close by. The logs still breathe the atmosphere of this time. So it is no surprise that we enjoyed the most romantic nights of our journey in this little house. Anyway, without knowledge about the background the little house is downright made for romance. Inside you will find good smelling sweet grass, a narrow Queen size bed, a warm stove with cracking firewood and looks out the window at sparkling stars in the night.
During daytime we again had some exciting moments racing down rapids, exploring ancient rock paintings, playing an organ and singing in a lonely island church, visiting Quincy at work, sliding on graveled dirt roads and gathering delicious mushrooms. We will not go into details here, because the warm sunshine outside is just too inviting :-)
