Day 24

OKA was a great find. Just a lovely small town so we could walk to the store. The storm was more threatening than real in the AM we awoke to a cool, crisp autumn day with perfect blue sky. This day we traveled up the Rivière des Outaouais to Montebello, QC. More amazing proof that God is an artist in his creations. We locked just once today, but this lock took us up 65 feet! At the lock we made friends with Alain who was attempting to sail up the river , but kept getting stranded aground. I think he probably did not have a working GPS.
In the afternoon we toured the amazing Chateau Montebello. We took many pictures, but I am still not able to get them into the blog. We bike around Montebello on some gorgeous wooded bike trails that connect the Chateau to the town. In the evening whi should show up, with a broken rudde r, but Alain so we stayed up late speaking French/English. Altogether, a perfect day. Slept well and now underway to Ottowa.
Love to all who take the time to read this. And to these who don't.
