DAY 38 - LEVIS to ST. PASCAL

Dad with Simon, his host in Montreal.

Yesterday dad started out in the rain.  He decided to go into Tim Hortons as it was raining so hard to get dried out a bit and to see if the rain would let up.  While in Tim Hortons he started talking with a couple from Nanaimo, BC.  They left Nanaimo on May 11th and could not believe that dad left Victoria BC on May 15th.  Did I mention they are travelling by vehicle.  For anyone who does not know where Nanaimo is it is also on Vancouver Island approximately an hour away from Victoria.  (It is where Connor was born).

Dad was told of a bike trail from Trois Rivieres to Levis that he could follow.  Dad said it was a beautiful trail.  He came across a couple who advised dad of a steep hill with a sharp S turn.  They spoke broken English, but dad told them it would be a piece of cake and they laughed.  This morning a guy drove pass dad honking and waving and when he got closer he smiled at dad and keep saying "good luck, good luck."  It was the same guy dad talked with on the trail probably on his way to work.

Today dad is off to St. Pascal.  This is dad's last day in Quebec.  Again THANK YOU to Russel Metals Quebec for hosting dad through Quebec.
