Montreal is known for its French feel, but who knew that there would be such a great street art scene. We loved this Mexican mama, tattoo and all!

We spent 1 July, Canada’s birthday, in the country’s capital Ottawa, and had a blast watching the Canadians getting all dressed up in red & white and celebrating their nation’s biggest day.

We took our bicycles out to the Burritts Rapids Locks, lock 17 of 45 locks along the Rideau Canal in Ontario, a UNESCO Heritage Site in Canada.

We have been in Ontario for over four weeks now and almost every night, whether the day is filled with rain or sunshine, the big Canadian skies open up to create wildly vivid, dramatic sunsets. Each night we pedal our bikes to find the perfect front row seats of the nightly showing of the sunset cinema.

I couldn’t believe my eyes when we arrived on the peak of Whistler Mountain last week and I found myself knee-deep in snow!

I arrived in Canada on Friday for the Great Coast Road Trip! Vancouver, our first stop, has already made a huge impression. Read what we’ve been up to so far.

Discovering Montreal’s public bicycle rental system made exploring the city so much easier! We had 24 hours to see Montreal’s main sights and neighborhoods and cycling in Montreal is a breeze!
