Quebec to Riviere du Loup

We spent the day travelling the south shore of St. Lawrence from Quebec City to Riviere du Loup. Stopped in a few small villages and were greeted with friendly and bilingual residents. After trying to resurrect our school French we headed straight to a book store in Riviere du Loup and bought a French/English dictionary. Bill is using it right now as we listen to the French debate!!
We are driving to the tip of the Gaspe today - staying at a B&B on the coast. Really looking forward to the drive and hikes when we get there. Although, the temperature is going to be about 8 degrees (we'll find out if we took enough warm clothes!) Not sure what the internet situation will be - may not be able to connect for a day or so.
Dairy Farms, one after another. 

Hydro electricity is a major resource in Quebec - huge towers are seen crossing the river.
Traffic on St. Lawrence. Beginning of the Laurentian Mountains on the north shore.
Long sections of property line the St. Lawrence
