Bye Bye Baie


Finally, some nice views!

For the Monroe Boys (nice shirt!)











As they say in Calgary, YAHOO! or is the YEEHA! Either way, we are back on the road! My bike is going to be repaired in Baie Comeau, and I want to thank the dealership there for their help. They are the Harley Dealership, Hamilton & Bourassa, and have been great about storing Brent's bike and all of our riding gear while they fix my bike. Also, even though we feel we overstayed our welcome, Le Grand Hotel is a nice spot to stay in the city.

Warning- if you go east of Quebec city, there are only so many spots that you can take a ferry from to go south and cross the St. Lawrence. Not only that, but they take reservations 30 days in advance, and we started to realise that we might not get to leave, unless we drove all the way back to Quebec City, 4 hours away. We checked several ports, and finally found on that we could cross at, and made our way there.

The crossing was short 1 1/2 hours, and we saw some Orcas, and some dolphins on the way. A short drive took us just into New Brunswick.

Things we like about the car:

We can listen to music
We have air conditioning
We have less luggage
I can sleep
We can talk to each other (although, Brent may call this a negative)
We can carry more food, and eat while we go
We can drink coffee and drive!

We are trying to be positive about the change of trusty steed from cool BMW's to Pontiac G5.
