Yesterday around noon we crossed into Quebec and entered a whole new country. French is the official language in this Province and all road signs have that language only. In other Provinces of Canada they usually post both French and English on all signs. Fortunately the speed limits are in numbers so there is no translation needed there.
The drive again was simply beautiful with more and more tree color, reds & yellows, splashed here and there.
When we got set up in this campground in Riviere-Du-Loupe on the banks of the St Laurence River their Wifi wasn't fast enough to allow a connection but this morning it seems to be doing okay.
Our scheduled campground was a few kilometers back along our route but when we drove into the driveway toward the office there was a chain across the drive and a sign on the office door said Ferme which we assume meant closed. There were many trailers set up in the campground with other vacant spots for us, we thought. We called their telephone number but got their voice mail. It was just shortly after lunch time so we thought they would be back soon. After waiting over an hour and a half we decided to turn around and find another campground, which we did. Today we head south toward Montreal and then Monday cross back out of french speaking territory into the good ole USofA.
