…pas de toilettes…
Guys, let me just say, I LOVE my new friends already. I was really worried I’d have no stories, but they did not disappoint!
As I said yesterday, the day started very early with the hope that we could avoid the worst of rush hour traffic through Toronto. We knew we wouldn’t miss it completely, there was still hope. Sadly, two accidents in Toronto and then some messed construction around Montreal turned an 8.5 hour drive into a 12 hour adventure! Thankfully my two favourite drivers did an excellent job and we got here safe. Yay!
Oh did you know… there’s this music app that you can create joint playlists and then play off anyone’s device? Once it was started, everyone started adding songs to it, and by at last check, the list has well over 14 hours of music on it now. No need to switch devices to get some else’s songs to play through the car… I’m just a bear, but sometimes even I think technology is cool.
All along the plan had been to stop at the Quebec welcome centre just after we cross into the province. We stopped there last year, and thought it was a good place to stop for lunch and walk around a bit. However we were met with signs on the doors telling us the bathrooms were out of order (the whole place had no power) and what nearest exit had some. Welcome to Quebec! (pa de toilettes … without toilets) 🤣
Ok, so the trip was pretty uneventful as 12 hour drives go, but my new friends had access to maps and markers and to use them however they wanted (ie they could mark off how far along the drive they’d gone etc). Well they went to town, and we have a very fun recording of the events of the day. I shall share now because they have done a better job than anything I can say!
