Quebec? Done!


We left out of Kingston, Ontario and continued on 410 East. It was 64 degrees when we left! After a fast breakfast at Tim Horton's, we continued on and finally hit the Quebec border.

From there, we headed towards Montreal. More specifically, we headed to the Unibroue brewery in Chambly. I was very excited about tasting more of their beers. Using the GPS, we changed highways many times, made several correct turns, missed a few turns (followed by U-turns) and finally pulled up to the address. I knew something was wrong when I didn't see any business name. We parked in visitor parking and I went inside. Sadly, they don't offer any tours or beer tast
ings anymore. When I said I came all the way from Texas, it still wasn't enough
even for a free sample. The only upside of the
side trip was a very picturesque
ride back to 410 to continue the trip to the
city of Quebec.

The highways in Quebec aren't nearly as nice as in Ontario. The speed limits are the same, but today we were running 115kmh just to keep up with traffic. We also ran into several bouts of rain. Today, it wasn't quite as welcome since it dropped the temperature from a high of 72, back down into the middle 60's.

But, still, not terrible and we stopped in the city of Quebec to look around. From there, we decided to head towards New Brunswick. We made it as far as Edmundston, New Brunswick. It is REAL close to the north east corner of Maine and as we found out, we lost an hour because we are now on Atlantic time. If tomorrow is any indication, it will be a chilly day tomorrow. Oh well, it is a late night here. Tomorrow we head out for PEI.
