Day 59 - Trois Pistole to St Damase - Saturday August 18th, 2012 - 134 km

The St Lawrence brought lots of fog and mist over the tents and everything was wet overnight. Since Keith was on cooking duty we were going to be later than usual, so there was no rush in getting up. Breakfast was French Toast, porridge, cereal, yoghurt.

There was poor visibility in the morning due to the fog and we put on bright clothes and tail lights and other things to be more visible. But when sun showed up, we were exposed to some wonderful scenic valleys and that also meant some climbs. sun and climbing combined, i was left sweating and wet. We were riding along the coast for a while and we visited some local museums and point of interest.

Towards the end of the day we pushed quite hard and tried to get in camp with enough time. Near camp, there were wind farms for as far the eyesight can go. After some tough short and very steep climbs, i pulled in to camp.

There is a tradition in Quebec, it seems, where they celebrate Christmas in July (or August in this campground's case). Hence the camp was all full, music loud and partying all around. This meant it was gonna be a long night for light sleepers. We are camped by the lake and there was a friendly duck that was exploring our tents.

Dinner tonight was Tofu Stirfry with rice, boiled veggies, and Cherry cheese cake.

Picture taking a Picture... too many pics.

The Scenic valley all around.

Church... we found wonderful architecture and similar churches in even the smallest of the villages.

Art, outside the first coffee break.




It was very HUGE in person.
