5 Aug Quebec City
We left Montreal behind after a great visit with our friends Cait and Jean-Louis. They have a beautiful piece of property west of Montreal in Les Cedres overlooking the St Lawrence and backing onto the paved cycleway and canal.
After we cleared the hustle and bustle of Montreal traffic, we left the TransCanada Highway and headed for the quieter, scenic countryside (132) that follows the St.Lawrence. It was so beautiful with views of the water, century farms, 1800s buildings, churches and multiple vegetable/fruit stands.
Wed. Aug. 6. relaxed around camp, went swimming. Pretty well a quiet relaxing day.

We brought "Flat Jesus" with us (top right.) For those who followed our last trip, you may have discovered him in some of our more wow or spiritual shots. It's a take off of "Flat Stanley" or another way to send pictures back home and not carry a garden nome around. More info here:
"This project is based on the children’s book Flat Stanley, written by Jeff Brown in 1965. Flat Stanley is the book’s main character - who is accidentally flattened when a bulletin board falls on him. He discovers that being flat has some great advantages - he can travel to places in an envelope!In the 1990s, the Flat Stanley Project involved giving children in elementary schools their own paper cutout of Flat Stanley and asking them to write about their adventures together or to mail him off to friends and family in other parts of the world... to have them take pictures and write about the adventures of Stanley.
In a similar spirit, this summer we are participating in the “Flat Jesus Project.” Because Jesus is always present with you, wherever you may go, you are invited to take him with you this summer… sending pictures and stories back to the church so that everyone can enjoy hearing about one another’s adventures."
