Today was a day spent mostly traveling. It took us about 6 hours to go from Bar Harbor to Quebec City. It was a really beautiful drive but it was really weird that most of the drive was a one lane road. We did get to see a lot of beautiful autumn leaves. Funny, when I was a kid in Vietnam, and was learning French, they had books with fall looking pictures in the US and then when I came to California, I was wondering what they were talking about because there was no such Autumn look in Los angeles. Now I know that I was in the wrong part of America. :o)
It rained on and off today so all in all, we did not miss much. Good to rain during travel time and not while we are visiting. You can see the clouds in the pictures.
One funny story. As you know, there are not too many Asians in this part of the country. I get a lot of "looks" and double takes as we walk about. Today, there was a woman who runs the breakfast at the hotel who went around to talk to everyone. She asked us where we were from and was talking to us for a little bit. Before she left, she looked at me and said, "enjoy your time in the US and Canada". I laughed. Yeah, I guess she thinks that only Rick was from the SF Bay Area. :o)
We went to the Blueberry soda brewing company and it was very sad looking as well as expensive. Their soda was cheaper at the stores than in their own store. What a rip off! Leslie, the soda is REALLY nice. It is not too sweet and it does taste like blueberry. Their rootbeer is not as good.
We got to Quebec City around 5:00 p.m. and once we checked in, we went out for dinner. Dinner was at a crepe house. It was so good! I had a peperoni, muchroom, spinach, and mozarella crepe and Rick had a peperoni, swiss, and mushroom crepe. We shared a chocolate and banana crepe for desert. All excellent! We walked around a little after dinner just to check out the city but will do most of the actual sightseeing tomorrow.
