Donnaconna to Trois Riviere (78 km)

In the morning, laughter woke us up! The French and our hosts were having breakfast and we joined them. We had the impression that they knew each other already for a long time, but then we learnt, the French were part of a group touring Quebec and they had arrived the same evenig like we did. Only, the had booked dinner with a real Canadien Family, that were our hosts who cooked themselves. When they left, it was with kisses and huges and soon after them we left too, amazed once again by the extraordinary hospitality we experience here.
Saturday is marketday, we run into a small apple pie and art market, ate a delicious apple pie. The next village had a bigger market, much organic and with live jazz music. We sampled a lot and felt sorry, that we are not able to carry some of this fine foods.
The whole day we drove along the Saint Lawrence River to our left and farms to our right. Just before sunset we found a wonderful B&B on a dairy farm. The house used to be the home of the famous Canadien Felix Leclerc, a singer, chansonier, songwriter, author and wise man. The interieur is still almost like when he lived here, his music is playing as I write this blog in his old living room.
