Today was all about driving, so after breakfasting again Chez Linda, we stuck to the Trans Canada. It’s a smooth, divided highway with just enough traffic to reassure you that you’re still living on an inhabited planet. The fact that it’s construction season makes that fact undeniable. New Brunswick is very hilly and often the road runs between rock walls.
The sky was huge and blue, between varying heavy cloud formations. Over each hill we were presented with a new vista – hills and valleys, forests and fields in a thousand shades of green and gold. Occasionally a river or lake or marshy area. Even more rarely, a small settlement of houses. Approaching the Québec border, it was more-populated and the closer we got to the St. Lawrence River, the more communities we saw.
In Riviere-du-Loup, the GPS took us easily to our night’s location, but then it got more difficult. We’d received a few emails with attachments we couldn’t open, and it turned out they contained codes we needed to get in. Larry phoned an emergency number, and we were sent them in an open email, so then it was OK. Very different type of accommodation – small, but clean and comfortable, with everything we need. It may be longer-term residence for some.
