We left Acadia National Park this morning. As is the case with all the national parks it was very difficult to leave this one behind. Mike in particular seemed to be having a hard time today. Mountains and ocean all in one place... good stuff.
It was another long drive today. Pretty though, off the highway through north-western Maine. No reason to go there really unless you are doing what we are doing. No real place for lunch, stopped at a rest stop overlooking the border between the IS and Canada and smacked on some fruit and other snacks we had. Hit a Tim Horton’s when we got to a more populated spot in Canada.
It seems we arrived at just the right time. There is a huge music festival in Quebec this weekend. We are staying in an apartment in the old town, right in the heart of things, including the festival. Traffic was just starting to get bad, roads were just starting to get blocked off. We made it, parked the car, settled in. As we were walking back from dinner we passed the garage where the car is parked. It was closed because it was full. Had we arrived any later we might still be driving around!
Didn’t really do much in Quebec tonight, just walked by the old fortifications briefly. Had dinner nearby. We all showered, notable only because we haven’t showered since Vermont... camping fun! Catching up on laundry tonight too. We definitely overused ALL of our clothes. Last time we did laundry was in Frederick... before Gettysburg, the re-enactment, the lake, camping. Yeah, 10 days ago. We only packed 7 days of clothes, you do the math!
We’ll set out to explore the city tomorrow. It was 90 when we got here, supposed to be cooler tomorrow. Fingers crossed that’s the case!
