We crossed into Quebec a little past lunch time today. The drive back through Maine was simply beautiful as after our four day stay in Bar Harbor the fall tree color has really advanced. It will be a couple of more weeks until peak color but today's drive was simply gorgeous. The yellows, reds, and oranges really contrast with the dark green pines behind them. The routes back through Maine were mostly minor, rural roads with small towns and farms along the way, very scenic. The first part of Canada was the same until we connected with the major highway leading toward Montreal.
The biggest problem with driving through Quebec is that this Province's official language is French and all signage is in that language. Normal highway signage is universal so no problem except for the metric conversion, Ms Navi took care of that for me. The problems come in when in a construction zone instructional signage is only in french and I/We just have to guess at what they are saying.
Tomorrow we cross into Ontario and there the signage will be in both languages.
