There’s a PA system throughout the park. Announcements in French are heard sporadically in the evening, the last one at 10 PM. Yippee. No idea what they’re saying and couldn’t care less. There were fireworks last night; also a band playing in a large building some distance away.

In Ontario campgrounds, lots of folks fly the Canadian flag. Not so here, nary a maple leaf to be seen. There are a few provincial flags, blue with a centered white cross and 4 fleur de lis. Darn few non-Quebec folks here; we may be the only ones. When I was researching campgrounds and such, I noted that the websites refer to the nation of Quebec, not the province.

Yesterday was a long day of rainy driving that included a long skinny parking lot (through Montreal) masquerading as freeway. Eastern Canada cities badly need mass transport. Who’d a thunk 20 miles of stop and go traffic at 4 PM on a Saturday? Tedium. Just. Pure. Tedium.

Today our destination is Rimouski, Quebec. Rimouski: Small Russian mice? Polish composer of classical music? Ukrainian sausage? Mustard and mayo with your rimouski meal, maam?
We went through Montreal and Toronto on ViaRail. It had it's inconveniences for sightseeing, but after hearing you, I'm glad we were on a train. We stayed in hotels at night so as not to miss the sights.
