Saguenay et al

For those who are wondering where the hell I'm at on the globe (not assuming anyone cares whatsoever, but offering one view into the world here to people who have asked), this is where I'm living. The red location star shows the region of Saguenay. It's comprised of a series of smaller villages. I live in between two of them--St. Felix-D'Otis and La Baie.


You'll see that the red star is over the Saguenay River. The villages that make up this region line up along the Saguenay River. To the south are the Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont state borders.

I'm a helluva a long way from home.

The following map is a zoom-in of one of the villages, Chicoutimi. The location point takes the place of the red star. You can see where the southern border of Quebec meets the northern U.S. border. The line looping upward between Quebec (which is Quebec City without the "City") and New Brunswick is Maine.





We live about 30 minutes to the South of Chicoutimi and a little bit east, right in between two smaller villages, La Baie and St. Felix-D'Otis.


It's fantastic that the Auberge de la Riviere Saguenay is a site attraction that we pass every day going into town because the advertisement for this hotel practically points to where we live. There so many things to do and see, art and culture to take in that I think I'll probably explode before I take it all in, which is mind-blowingly exciting. I've taken in a lot of things already (the season premiere concert of l'Orchestre de Chicoutimi, a Snowbirds fighter plane show, a taping of a popular Quebec show, sat in several classy bars, toured Old Quebec and Montreal) and I've only been here two months. It's just the tip of the iceberg.
