We met Jason, an American Indian from Montana who has been travelling with a motorcycle over the last few months.
After brilliant studies and a career in finance, he took decision to serve his community.
We spend a pleasant evening together, remaking the world and understanding better the cause of Indians in North America.
Thank you Jason for the very nice time we spent together.
After the raspberries, we come across fields of wild blueberries: what a great harvest!
It is a delight, but not good looking for the teeth ...
Once at Sault Ste Marie, we decide to make a quick detour to the US.
Indeed, we have a lot of things to buy before Africa and life in Canada is much more expensive than in the United States.

After Lake Superior, we are on Lake Huron. Still not willing to swim.
The children decide to climb on Matthieu.

Pancake, French toast ... This nectar is good with everything!
