August 26 - Degelis, QC

Odometer- 22591.9

With advice from the campground, we left at 9 AM and parked at a shuttle bus stop off our route. We took the shuttle bus to Vielle Quebec. We walked up to Chateau Frontineac, walked throughout the crooked streets where a bagpipe band was playing. We toured the lobby of the old hotel, then walked even more uphill to the Citadel walls. We fought the battle of 1812, and headed downhill to the Parliament buildings. All old town Quebec was well landscaped, maintained and there was an abundance of flowers in planters, around fountains and statues.

Getting hungry, we feasted on a Montreal smoked meat sandwich, with an excellent fresh cole slaw and freshly fried potato chips. Refreshed, we went to the Cathedral, also called Notre-Dame. We walked back to the Place d'Armes and caught the return bus (included in the price!) to the parking lot. At about 4:30, fortunately for us we were in the right area to catch the bridge without hitting too much traffic to head north-east.

We are at a small town just west of the New Brunswick border at a municipal camp site. A sunny, beautiful day about 24 oC.

  1. Finally I am getting through to your comment section. It is fun to see where you are,what you are seeing, doing and of course what you are eating. Did you finish that huge plate of food at Cora's?
    Keep safe.
