Today was R & R. We had a very French breakfast with the morning paper and walked around town for about 4 hours. We sat on a nice park bench directly across from the Church of St. Patrick with a view of the St. Lawrence River. We found a small art store where Susie picked up some water color painting supplies. She started capturing some images and colors she may follow up with when we get home.
We bought some sandwiches and walked to the Waterfall Park (Parc des Chutes) right in the downtown area. The Loup River falls are impressive and are combined with a hydroelectric power plant. There was a picnic area nearby the falls for lunch.
This is a pretty upscale area with prices to match. Meals seem especially pricey when combined with the 5% federal tax and 10% provincial tax. Tonight may be an ice cream dinner by the St. Lawrence River park.
Apparently this town has been named the 2nd Best place for a sunset. The weather didn't cooperate for us, never mind the sun doesn't set up there until almost past my bedtime!
