Bus Tour

We booked two bus tours, one was the city tour and the other the country tour. Now we know a few places we want to check out on our own! There are some nice water falls to see, a bird reserve to visit and just some nice farm country to check out. It is really nice here and I think romantic..... Although the photos may show clouds, it is really quite warm here and the clouds come and go! We did have a few showers and one down pour but they lasted a short time.

The Montmorency Falls are one and a half times higher than Niagara Falls. I did not go onto the bridge there but Ernest did. We bought a copper "Owl" clock from a "Copper Gallery" we visited! We have not bought many souvenirs but the things we did buy are nice and will not end up in a "garage sale", ha ha! We also toured Basilique de Ste-Anne De-Beaurpe, a beautiful church. One stop was at the bread ovens, where we had some bread with "maple butter" on it. The prices there are high there but then maple syrup is expensive at home too.

The city tour was okay but not many stops for photos, mostly it was just drive by and information....which I immediately forgot! There is a lot to see in town if you into history, museums, etc.

We are both fine and although Ernest did have a sore throat for a day or so it did not slow him down and he did not get sick and no fever so that is good. He leaves on Thursday for Calgary, Brian's retirement, and he will be back Friday night. A nice man that we met in Newfoundland is here at the RV park and he will drive Ernest to and from the airport. Well, here are a few more photos......I should of checked these photos in the motor home as it is too bright here in McDonalds to see if they are clear enough to put on the blog....I hope they are ok for you to see!
