Quebec City 1, Quebec, Canada

17.6.1 - STORM
The storm approaches …….   Cumberland, Ontario

It was a very pleasant drive from Cumberland, Ontario to Quebec City, Quebec.  Not much traffic, little rain and pastoral scenery. The RV Park where we are set up is very pleasant also. It is within the city limits of Quebec, and in fact is in a neighborhood.

It has a different feel to it than the park we were at in Cumberland, Ontario. It’s just as green, but seems friendlier. At the last park the office was seldom open so we never met the owners. The staff in the office here are helpful and patient with our lack of French language skills. There are more amenities. There is a lending library of books and video tapes.  WiFi service is much better also and there is a shuttle service to downtown. We are going to take it in the morning to take the on/off city tour.  It will most likely rain, but we have decided not to let the rain impede our desire to see the sights and get to know the city.

Now that we are in the province of Quebec, we hear less and less English and more French. I am learning a few basic words and expressions   so I can be polite and make a good impression as an American.

I know that we are going to enjoy our week in Quebec City. It dates back to 1608 and is one of North America’s oldest and most picturesque settlements. I don’t want to get ahead of myself but I am also looking forward to our next destination in St. Flavie. We are staying in “Camping Capitaine Homard.” Homard is French for lobster and there is a restaurant on the grounds.  Yum.  While we are in Quebec City I am also looking forward to having some Quebecois cuisine.

It is raining right now so I’m pretty sure it will continue until tomorrow.  In case you haven’t noticed, we have a more flexible attitude to the rain. Rain or shine, we are going to see one of the most beautiful cities in North America tomorrow.       JY

As she said the drive to Quebec City was nicer than some of the other drives we have made.  No rain, good roads and good gas station meaning easy to get in and out of with the trailer.  The first site they assigned us presented a real problem with backing in only to realize during the process that the utilities were on the wrong side.  We got a new site and things are much better.  PRC

  1. You’re having WAY too much fun! Need to dial it back a bit. (Just kidding bro). Glad to hear you’re having the vacation of a life time. Thanks for the daily updates.
