Day 13 Fri Aug 25 : Cap Sante to Quebec City

We stayed overnight at a little motel just outside of the ittle village of Cap Sante. It means
"Cape of good health" Legend has it that some french soldiers fell ill on their trek east and when they stopped at this spot they found something that cured them, hence the name. The motel owner was French and from Montreal. He was very friendly and told us about a good place to eat supper. We went there and had supper. It was quite busy with "locals". The guy next to us was having a big bowl of Poutine ( chips with lumps of cheese and gravy on them)....Yum Yum. After supper we went back to the motel and went to bed....This holidaying is hard work.
The next morning we had our coffee outside on the garden swing and Judy worked on the computer while I packed the bike and visited with the owner and a group of travellers from Munich Germany. We left heading east and stopped in the village to check out the church square and the main street which is noted to be the most beautiful street in Canada.
The next stop was the village of Donnacona where we stopped for lunch. It was obviously washing day there.
We got to Quebec City about 15:00 and followed #138 right into Beaumont which is a suburb of Quebec. After booking into our motel we rode the bike to downtown and parked near the railroad station and statred hoofing it. Lots of steep hills and stairs to climb. We toured around "Old City" till about 20:30 and then headed back to the motel.

Judy bought a CD from some guy busking with a harp. I think it was Albert Einstein.
