ST. LAWRENCE TO QUEBEC CITY

We left St. Ours, thru Sorel and into the St. Lawrence, and moved on to Trois Rivieres to spend the night.  Trois Rivers is a city but there is little to walk to from the marina.  While there we went to the snack bar and started talking to a couple (about the only other people there speaking American english) and we almost immediately realized that they were the same people that I had exchanged emails with a few months ago.  We thought our paths might cross, and so they have.  They are taking the same route we are, so we will try to buddy boat with them some -- though they travel a good deal slower.  Its always nice to have a friend nearby!

Cathedral at Cap de la Madaleine, on the St. Lawrence

This is called the Richelieu Rapids, though I don't know why, in the middle of the St. Lawrence River,
anyway, nothing to write home about

At Last, captained by Jerry & Janet, will travel with us some

The twin Quebec bridges -- there are only two places on the St. Lawrence where you can cross by bridge --
here near Quebec and near Trois Rivieres

Quebec waterfront -- two big Coast Guard Boats

The Chateau Frontenac

you enter the marina at Quebec via a lock -- At Last is in the lock and the bridge over the lock is up

its Saturday, lock is busy

the nice man in the blue sailboat interpreted for us when the lock master
announced on the radio -- in French -- the order we would all enter the lock -- he was 1, we were 2
