July 19th, Friday

Had a great time last night. We went to dinner with Laird, Elise, and their daughter, Christy and her husband Shawn at Mr. B'z, a small local restaurant in Ottawa. Food was delicious. The play was held at the Ottawa little Theatre (101 years old) and was called "Noises Off". A farce about the behind-the-scenes of a play. Quite entertaining. They gave us a quick tour of downtown Ottawa and then delivered us back to our campsite. This morning our UNB friend "Doc" picked us up and we met his wife, Linda at a local restaurant for a 2 hour brunch. Have not seen them for 3-4 years so it was fun to catch up on their news. Pulled out of Ottawa just before noon and headed east on the 17, 50, 158, 40 and then the 20 ending up in Montmagny for the night. Everything is green, roads are busy, rained on and off, and traffic heavy around Quebec City.

Bernie managed to get the barbecuing done even with a downpour and lightening. Our last barbecue before we arrive home.
