Day Three: Quebec 847 km
Today I drove from Prince Edward Island to Quebec City. As I was getting ready to leave PEI I learned something new...steam will set off the smoke detector. Yes as yours truly was in the shower the fire alarm started going off in my room. I couldn't figure it out at first but then I realized that the really loud sound at 8:00am was coming from my room. With soap in my hair and threw on some clothes and went to get help after I couldn't make the noise stop. Please keep in mind the night before, in pjs I went out and made the very nice bellboy come in and kill a giant bug, which I thought was a cockroach but was only a beetle (the front desk lady reminded me that "I was in the COUNTRY!" Anyway after grabbing a ladder the smoke alarm stopped and I sheepishly checked out.
Site of my new knowledge!
I was sad to leave PEI, but I am sure I will be back. I bisected the island, going the speed limit of course, and went back across the bridge. Now remember when I complained about the $12.00 toll on the Chesapeake Bridge, ha! I scoff at that toll! The Confederation Bridge costs...$42.00!!!!!!!!!!! to cross just once!!!! I KNOW!!!
$42.00?!!!
Really?!
Anyway I left PEI and drove through very rural Canada. I have come to the conclusion that very few people live here.
In fact I didn't see another car for THREE hours!!!
This was at a gas station.
Which is across from this place. Does anyone know what a Fiddlehead is?!
Before finally reaching the Gulf of Saint Lawrence.
After an 11 hour drive I pulled into Quebec City ready to explore tomorrow and practice my French.
