Saturday we moved from Quebec to Ontario. Finally all signage is in English plus they have additional signs in French. This morning we had to make it through Montreal but there was major road construction that caused a major backup when our route of three lanes had to merge into one. That took about 30 minutes of creeping along stop and go. Then our planned route past that point was totally closed for reconstruction. With all informational signage in French it was a bit upsetting. Fortunately the French word for detour is spelled DETOUR and a route through some city downtown streets was clearly marked but it took much longer to get past Montreal than originally planned. Then we headed on West (Quest).
Later after lunch we passed through Ottawa with no problems at all. On down the highway a little further along we crossed the Mississippi River, eh? Seems that the USA doesn't have the only one and probably need to do some research on just what that name stands for.
These two days we are in Renfrew, ON, CA in another KOA. All campgrounds for this trip are reserved in KOAs for the convenience and for perhaps a WiFi connection. That has worked out well for all so far up until this one. This campground is crowded for the weekend and their WiFi is so weak that it is was totally impossible to get a connection let alone make use of it.
Sunday was as the good book expects a day of rest. In the afternoon we got our chairs out in the shade and enjoyed a nice refreshing breeze and watching a couple of very small squirrels playing around. These are only about half the size of those that pester JoAnn at home. They are reddish in color on their backs with a white belly.
