Well, Canada Day was spent driving, and driving, and driving, and driving lol. I left Arnold and Ann Marie's around 10:30 (yes, a bit late ha) but once on the road I actually managed to get out of Montreal with relatively little stress thanks to Arnold's most excellent direction giving. (Thanks again to both of them for making my short stay in Montreal so memorable!) However, I did miss one turn when on the mainland and ended up in a little community called Richellou (sp?). What a great place and very picturesque and slow of pace. I stopped only once to get some freshly picked strawberries at a roadside u-pick. A total of $6.00's provided me with good eats all day long lol. Wow, they taste so much better than store bought. Amazing.
The rest of the day was rather uneventful but I would have to note that the area of Quebec just before you get to New Brunswick is really quite beautiful. Around the area of Rue de Loop (sp?). There are rolling hills and farms and picturesque towns in valley's etc etc etc. I didn't get any pictures as it was raining and I wanted to keep pushing to make Edmonston at the very least. I did that and better and ended up staying at Bath, NB last night - about 40 miles north/west of Fredericton.
I'm feeling rather excited that tomorrow should be my last day on the road en-route to Wolfville, but also somewhat hesitant at all the new challenges that lay before me. I have a long list of things to do once there such as a place to stay, school, work, people, places and I'm sure a hundred other things I've not thought of. Oh well, I plan to plant my toes in the Atlantic Ocean today for the first time ever. Never thought I'd do that in my lifetime so there's the thing lol. Another first for Ms. Kelly. Mr. Finnigan is well, but looking rather tired of the car and his co-pilot location beside me.
Overall we had a great day. Sorry there are no pics, but will have some up tomorrow.
Next Stop: Wolfville, Nova Scotia (Oh yea!)
Daily Distance: 782 kilometers.
