Ontario is big. It’s
huge. We’ve been driving across this
province for days and days. Ok, maybe
we’re slow, but we’ve been putting on the miles. Today we will get to Quebec.
We drove into Pembroke (still in Ontario) for a coffee break and to see the
Ottawa River. We’d been in this town
before so had an idea of what we might find.
But last time we weren’t pulling a long trailer so the question was
where to park. Once that was solved,
we wandered around downtown to discover that the coffee shop we’d been to before was no longer there. We found another place, no, not Tim
Horton’s. As for the river, we didn’t have very good access on the one street
because of sandbags, and saw that the park we’d gone walking in,
several years ago, was under water.
As we drove through Ottawa, we had a glimpse of the Ottawa River rapids flowing high and hard. We arrived at the L’Escale campground north of Montreal and
set up. It seemed to have been spared
some of the flooding, but saw flooded streets and parks in the area.
We went for dinner at my cousin’s home,
Marjorie and Martin. It was a wonderful
evening of catching up on life as it’s been many years since we’ve visited
together. Tomorrow they will show us the
sights of Montreal and area.
