Day Fourteen , Chambly, Qu.

Yesterday was amazing. After finishing the exhaust repairs we headed down river to St Jean Sur Richelieu. At St Jean we entered the Canal Chambly. For the rest of the day we traveled at 5 knots/hr and went through 9 locks, all going down. the canal parallels the Richelieu River and we had many glimpses of swamps and rapids. The canal meanders through farm land as well as small picturesque villages. The canal terminated at Chambly, the most beautiful of towns that we have visited. It is also home to the best Italian restaurant in the world. Tre Colore!! We like Chambly so much that we plan to bike it and in addition will bike part of the tow path that follows the entire canal.Yesterday several joggers passed Lydia, jogging faster than we were motoring. Still, Frog & Toad are enjoying their adventure.
