Day 70, Sunday, August 3, Levis, 71 km

Well, it rained again last night. The wind was blowing from the east as we headed out on Hwy 132 but it was not raining.

We stopped in Saint-Antoine-de-Tilly at the Mansion-de-Tilly, a 19th century house which has been converted into a spa, for our second breakfast. It was quite a posh place for us but the pricy breakfast included a buffet of cheese, pastries, fruit, pate and juice so was actually a good deal. A local came in to speak with Adele about our trip; he cycles with Quebec Velo and is planning a cross-Canada trip in 2010.

We continued on 8 kilometres past the strip mall of Levis to our campsite (Fort de la Martiniere) which overlooks the St. Lawrence. Remember that wind? It is here in full force and we hid in the RV to have our dinner. Here there are people from California, Ontario and Manitoba; the different licence plates are a novelty for us because we have only seen Quebec plates so far.
