As expected, today was all about driving. Somehow we actually managed to leave the house pretty much exactly when we planned, and it was an easy ride all the way. We stopped for a great lunch in Ballston Spa (great little town) and coffee in Plattsburgh (just no), and got across the border with no issue.
We ended up hopping off highway and driving through the countryside because the traffic around Montreal was really awful. It was pretty but an unfortunate reminder why you shouldn’t go driving through farm country during fertilizer season.
Quebec just sorted of appeared out of nowhere, but then again it was nearly dark when we got here. We haven’t explored at all yet, because of course just as we pulled up to the hotel a thunderstorm started. We had a bite to eat at one of the hotel restaurants overlooking the St. Lawrence river, which was quite pretty – looking forward to walking along the boardwalk tomorrow.
