Upon leaving New Brunswick, we were able to hook up with a friend of Lynn’s who also has a wandering foot. Jean Carey is also on extended leave from work and has recently returned from a trip to Australia and is en route to visit relatives and friends in New Brunswick. She then plans to go to Newfoundland and Nova Scotia and then points south of the Canadian-American border. We were able to intercept her at a small town in Quebec called St. Jean-Port Joli. It is a cold, wet and blustery day and Jean arrives late in the afternoon after a trip to Gros Isle that takes way longer than she expected it to. Nevertheless, a very enjoyable evening is spent going over recent and future trips and trip plans. When things take a turn to the knitting direction however, I graciously retire to a very good book I am reading. The next morning finds all three of us sipping coffees and hot chocolates before heading our separate ways. Bon voyage Jean!

Jean, Mascot, and Miss Piggy!

It is now Lynn writing … I decided that as every single Quebec village, town, and city we go through has a rather large church, that I should take a series of photos of them. I ran into problems right away. These edifices are often so large that getting them all in a single photo was impossible. Especially as there were electrical and telephone wires cluttering up the composition! Okay, so maybe I don’t need the whole church? Lawrie suggested maybe just the spires and I agreed that would be interesting. What do you think?
