Day - 56 - Quebec City, QC to Saint John, NB

Days on the road: 56.
Miles today: 446.
Miles to date: 13,248.


Fortunately, my brief stay of less than 24 hours in La Belle Province allowed me to stay focused and avoid falling under the spell of the following Quebequois temptations:
  • Poutine
  • Maple Fudge
  • Cheese Curds
  • Pepsi
  • Mae West (Why isn't it called Mae Ouest???)
  • Players No Filter Cigarettes

After decent coffee from a downtown cafe, I crossed the mighty St. Lawrence River and headed East along the Southern shore. Occasional glances North bound had my eyes landing on the patchwork of farmers' fields in various states of bloom, random shocks of bright yellow fields on dandelions growing wildly, the deep blue river and the dark blue outline of the mountains beyond. The day was cool yet sunny and the top was down. The miles melted away.




This must be the most hilarious town in the World:
