Edmunston

We had a perfect day driving yesterday. Bright and sunny. Traffic was a lttle heavy leaving the Montreal area heading towards Quebec City. The traffic lightened as the day wore on.

We had packed sandwiches which we enjoyed just before Levis. The next stop from there was a rest area just before Riviere du Loup where one leaves highway 20 and turns southeast on 85.

I have been driving this route from Ontario to Nova Scotia since the 1970's. Quebec initially with federal federal funding  has been working on improvements on 85 virtually the whole time. This year we see a major section being developed beside the existing road on the Riviere du Loup end.

For many years the New Brunswick part of the Trans Canada was also under construction. Thankfully this work was completed some years ago.

We arrived at our destination, Edmunston at about 5 o'clock Ontario time. We are staying here at the Days Inn.

When we got our room and settled for a bit we checked the web and got a report on Betsy's stay at her 'resort'. She is doing fine. Her she is:

She has just had a swim. Thanks J and B!

All for now.
