We started yesterday in the city center of Rivière-du-Loup and a visit to a little bakery called Boulangerie Artisanale Au Pain Gamin for coffee, tea and croissants. Then it was a drive up the coast mostly along the Route des Navigateurs, before turning at…
We awoke much earlier yesterday than intended, as the alarm in our room was set to 5 AM (not by us!). We did manage to sleep a little more, but that was not a great start to the day. We…
I had to leave very early to get to the Montreal airport in time to pick up Amy – so early, in fact, that the parking garage wasn’t open yet. Thankfully, when I pushed the call button, someone opened the…

This was intended to be a relatively short leg, but I took the scenic route, instead – Highway 31 to Highway 22 to Empire, then across. Based on a recommendation by Mindy Fernandes, I visited the Sleeping Bear Dunes National…
