Day 88 Travel Day Rimouski to Levis, QC

Thurs., Aug. 15

Drive Rimouski to Levis, QC

A little cool in the morning but the sun is back.  A very nice drive along the St. Lawrence on Hwy 132.  This is a secondary road going through the small towns.  The St. Lawrence is very brown and dirty here.  Farming is predominant here with a lot of yellow fields, maybe canola.

Near Le Bic



St Lawrence from View point

A lot of the homes in Quebec have brightly colored airondek chairs and double swings in the front or side yards.  Also a lot of swimming pools in every other yard!  Every little town has a church or a few churches.  The steeples standing out as you enter each town.

We were at our campsite and set up by 2 pm. Nice campsite but the smell was not so nice.  The fields nearby must have been fertilized with smelly stuff!  We found out that we could be picked up at the campsite for our Quebec City tour.  We were about to go to the office to book the tour when the skies opened up and it was pouring just after 4 pm.  We thought it would be over in 10 to 15 minutes as it has in the past but it lasted about ½ an hour and by then the roads were rivers a few inches deep.  By 6 pm the blue skies were back and it was warm.  Great way to end the day.
