Day 22 - Metis Sur Mer Q.C.

It is Thursday, June 21 and a gorgeous day.  The sun is out, cooler than yesterday and no humidity.  It is a travel day of 220 miles along the coast of the St. Lawrence River.


We did have some miles along the coast as seen above but most of the trip was inland.  There are tons of islands in the river.



We did notice the many farms along the way.  Not a lot of cattle but fields and fields of crops.  Read in one of the brochures that amongst the patchwork of farmland, they have peat moss operations.  Unlike the Western Provinces of Canada, the farms are spotless, buildings are painted and equipment is neatly put away. 



We stopped for lunch at a wayside just so we could get a little sun and enjoy the day.  Bruce found a path in the woods so we took a short walk; however, we never got to the supposed view point so we returned and headed out again.  As in the cities, there are churches in all the little towns.  Steeples can be seen from every hilltop.

After dinner, a group of us went to the community center in the park and played cards.  We played Black Queen with Patty and Rod.  The girls won!!!!  Yeah!!  We called it a night as we had early plans for the next day.
