Lentement, s'il vous plait!

We are in Saint-Simeon, Quebec. It is on the north side of the St.Lawrence. We travelled from Fredericton, NB to Riviere du Loup today and took the ferry over. We gained an hour moving from Atlantic to Eastern daylight time so were in good time for the 4:00 ferry. It takes 1 hour and 30 minutes to travel across the river at this point and the river widens dramatically from here.
We are immersed in French again and find it fun. A bit more challenging than our only bi-lingual province (New Brunswick) where signs are in English too.
Here in Saint-Simeon, the people we've encountered so far have very little English. Registering at the hotel was a game of guesswork and charades but laughter accompanied it all.
