We said Au revoir to Ontario and took a back road through the countryside of Quebec, where we found a fromagerie. And it was open. So we had lunch in the back of the building using the delicious cheeses. We’re in French-speaking Quebec now, where French is the official language, so there are rarely bilingual signs or speakers outside of tourist shops.
In the pursuit of learning more about the French/English history here, we camped across the river from Old Quebec City and ferried across the St Lawrence river. A beautiful town with European charms, like food and wine.
From Quebec we drove over to New Brunswick to find the Bay of Fundy, staying at a couple of farms and orchards along the way. So many places are still closed for the long winter up here, staying at harvest hosts is the better bet. But we did find the infamous Bay of Fundy, just like the mapping program said we would!
The tides are pretty impressive, but the tidal bore in the town of Moncton is sort of unbelievable.
Now we’re on Prince Edward Island with plans to visit the Anne of Green Gables heritage site and eat lobster like the locals do. It feels like we’ve driven 3,800 miles!
Ciao!
