Say la vie Quebec
Hello New Brunswick




We woke up this morning and I just new it was going to be a great day! The sun was shining and the sky was as blue as can be- something we have not seen since we entered Quebec. We took Autoroute 20 east until it became 132 then we had a decision to make to either take a 400-kilometer coastal drive around the Gaspie Peninsula or take the 120 Kilometer thru the valley of Gaspie. It was a hard decision to make- but due to diesel prices we decided to go thru the valley rather than follow the St Lawrence River. We were not disappointed we saw some of the most beautiful countryside I have seen. Lakes, rivers, farm homes, covered bridges, rolling hills and tall trees and the two-lane road was in good shape. We passed thru quaint towns. As we crossed the interprovincial bridge from Quebec into Campbellton, New Brunswick we stopped at the visitors center and loaded up with maps and tour routes and we found that we were just in time for the Salmon Festival. They had live music at the waterpark and of course the waterpark sits right on the Gulf of St Lawrence and FREE RV parking for the night or longer with a fantastic view and there was a spectacular fireworks show!!

I was right it was a fantastic day!!
