The Ends:
Today, we travelled from Quebec City to Kingston. Like Charles de Gaulle, we took the Chemin de Roi as far as Trois-Rivieres- very scenic. I haven't said much about our B&B, or gite as it is known in French. It was located on the outskirts of the city in an undistinguished area. The building itself was plain, but inside it was beautifully restored and had rooms for 5. Our host, Elizabethe, was a character. She seemed quite strict at first and told us to take off our shoes. When she was reciting her schpiel about touring Quebec City, she told us not to interrupt- she would answer questions when she was finished! But, by our leave-taking, we were very fond of her. Her breakfasts were exceptional. Yesterday - zuchinni pancakes and today - eggplant gallatte.
The Odds:
Tonight, we walked around Kingston. I must remark on the Presbyterian church, which has a cannon on the front lawn! (It came from the defence of Londonderry). I guess they never heard about pounding swords into ploughshares. Ka-boom.
