We took the scenic route along the Ottawa river, on the Quebec side. We experienced our first taste of what it will be like travelling in a country where we don't know the language. All the signs are now in French, with the exception of Time Hortons, where we enjoyed a coffee. We doddled along today in the humid conditions and only covered 200 km, but seemed to eat up enough time to need to stop for the night. We found a nice campground in the city of Joillette, and set up the tent just before the thunder and rain arrived. Fortunately, it was short lived. We are the only tenters at this quaint campground, and it is quiet, although we are right in the middle of the city. We woke up to sunny skies, which we feel lucky, as there have been reports of rain all around us on this trip, but (knock on wood) we have avoided it so far.
Oddly enough, Joliette is usually a place where people don't really stop, just drive through. I didn't even know there was a camping there. Enjoy Québec City. - Marius
