Quebec

September 8,9,&10

We are in a wonderul RV park in Levi, Quebec accross the St Lawrence
waterway from Quebec City. This after a harrowing drive from a bug
infested night in St Boniface. The traffic was heavy and driving through it
with this huge house following us is very stressful. We found ourselves in
the wrong lane for turning and our Garmin announced "recalculating,
recalculating. Three times across the long bridge and we were back on
track. Praise God for Garmins.

Decided to stay three days and recover. The second day we were here we
had planned to do Quebec City, but it was raining and we were still tired.
Age definitely takes a tole on traveling. Tomorrow we'll go.

The ferry across was only $2. What a deal. The other option was driving
back 20 miles and over the bridge, then 20 miles to the city.
Delightful city streets, shops, flowers, art and people. At least near the
ferry departure. We took a Funicular up the cliff into the older main part
of the city. Streets were blocked off, police were everywhere and helicopters
were flying overhead. We were in for another adventure it seemed.

While having lunch outdoors at a lovely restaurant (Tom had his favorite
French Onion soup and I had Quiche Lorraine with Mediterranean salad)
both yummy, we saw the bicyclers ride by. It was the Grand Pris Des Quebec.
What fun. In Europe with the grandchildren we also happened upon a bike
race. Like Tom says, "We always seem to run into fun, unusual things.
For those of you who know me well and long, I had sunshine today for our
foray into Quebec. Thank you Jesus.
One more relaxing evening here and we leave for Maine so we can drive on US roads
to New Brunswick. We are really tired of the Canadian ones.
Stay tuned!
