| Started our last day in New Brunswick looking out into the parking lot, wondering how I was going to get the truck and trailer (you can barely see it ) out of the lot. (all those cars were not there when we parked) |
 |
| after wiggling out of the lot, it was a very short 15 minute drive to the Quebec border. |
 |
| I was on the events team again today, our first stop was in Degelis, Quebec at the hotel de ville (there seems to be a lot of these in Quebec) |
 |
| Small town (pop. 3200) with the old school main street, no big box stores here |
 |
| A little medal bearer parade into the event, great to see the school kids out. I got to try out my french to day, I am getting very used to saying " je ne parle pas francais" ( i do not speak french) |
 |
| More love from the communities , here in Degelis we were treated to a hot lunch, just like home! |
 |
| North to our End of day celebration |
 |
| The picture does not do justice to the fall beauty I was seeing along the highway |
 |
| Now there is a town to cheer you up. Explanation on the name here |
 |
| End of day was at this arena in Riviere du loup, there is a hockey team here that plays in the North American Hockey League (never heard of it) a low level semi-pro league that has the unofficial reputation as the world's toughest hockey league |
 |
| We were not sure how much response we would get going through Quebec, apparently a lot of people do not know about Rick Hansen and his story. We had a small crowd turn out, but they were very appreciative, and even served appetizers and wine after the celebration |
