Off to Quebec

We left the beautiful town of Woodstock, on our way home.
Everything was packed away, (more about that later) and off we went.

The drive through New Brunswick was very quiet with hardly any traffic. We made good time and were soon in Quebec.
I am sure you all know the Quebec flower, bird and tree. Oh, maybe you don't. Well, for those not as sharp as us, the flower is the blue flag, the bird is the snowy owl, and the tree, of course, is the yellow birch.

It was time for lunch and we remembered how much we enjoyed the restaurant in St Jean-Port-Joli on our 1st day of the trip.
So we went to that same place, The Bistro OK, and Bonnie had a veggie burger and I had an original burger. Excellent.

For those who forgot, I will add the same picture of the restaurant as in our 1st blog post.


On our way west toward Quebec City and Montreal.
A little before Montreal, the traffic came to an abrupt halt. Stop and go for an hour or so and then stopped again under the tunnel, just outside Montreal.
Finally, we made it just past Montreal and we thought, that was it for the night.
We checked into the Holiday Inn Express, got a bottle of wine and settled in for the night.

Bonnie got ready for bed grabbed her kindle and was ready to read.
Remember the earlier note of packing up all our stuff in Woodstock. Well, one of us could not find HER glasses. You guessed right, they are still in Woodstock, New Brunswick. About 800 km away.

Fortunately, they found them and will mail them back to us.
Oh well, I reckon these things happen!!!!

Tomorrow we will head home to Mount Hope.
