Kamouraska

Marlie and Tom left us this morning from Levis.  We had a great time with them.  Good food, good wine and good conversations.  However Souhaila got in at about 11:00 PM and Olin was really pleased to see her in the morning.  We got away from Levis at about 7:30.  Sou decided to stay behind for the morning so she could spend some time with Olin.  The sky was overcast but good for biking.  The road is good and we had lots of views of the St. Lawrence.  The farmland is really vast and seems very fertile.  Lots of little farm villages.  Gordon and I stopped at a McDonalds in Montmagny and had an egg McMuffin and a coffee.  Fuel for elite cyclists.  We stopped in L'Islet and looked at an old ice breaker and the hydro foil ship called the Bras D'or.  Very interesting.  It then started to rain which put a little damper on things.  We met Madge, Olin and Souhaila in Saint Roche and had a nice lunch in a café.  I had a great vegetable soup and beans, fruit and a boiled egg.  The dish was called an assiette Quebecoise.  Souhaila joined us for the last 45 Km which was fun.  Nice to have another rider.  The rain came back with a vengeance and we got pretty wet.  As we came into Kamouraska the fog came in and the temperature dropped.  Anyway the motel is nice and seems like a couple of nice restaurants.  Off to New Brunswick tomorrow.
