Did you ever enjoy one place so much /hat you really wanted to go back although it was quitea few years later? Don't. One year we decided to go to Montreal and Quebec and • on farther. I recall being in Quebec -Lower Town, I believe, -anyway as we drove through, the people were opening front doors and step- ping out in front of us. That was a narrow road -it didn't take us long to get out of there. Next we were on a higher level and I wanted to see the old and "new" city. There were college studentswho would drive your car and take you to all the interesting Spots, but "No, no-one is ing. my car".. That was Mr. , R. He's impossible on a trip. When you are going somewhere that's where you're going -and no , side trips or . stop -overs -just go,grAgo. So we didn't see much of Quebec City or Montreal either, but by this time we were on the west side of the St: Lawrence and just follow. - ed the road north. This hap- pened so long ago I can't recall the names of towns, but we crossed at St. Simeon. A 'small flat boat ferried us to. Riviere du I ,oup to the east side of the Jiver. From there we travelled east pass- ing St. Louis -du -Ha! Ha! Don't ask me what all the ha ha's were about but near there we saw a beautiful wayside 'altar with a large cross and statue and so on. We saw several of these on our trips in Quebec, they were all different but beautiful Oh - on the ".haltia!" bit. They were written as lia!Ha! with the exclaination ,points -but . we didn't findanything that fun- ny. Looking for a stop -over. We were directed to Cabano on -Lac Temiscouala". The sun was setting, the cabins. snowy •white, snuggled • together in a row beside the blue. blue lake. Honestly, it was a beautiful sight. There were no vacancies but the taxi driver who happened to be the owner took us to his with Martha home and we used his room. The bedspread was odd -to ME - it was woven of soft white -. probably sheets - and two widths were sewn together. From there we went to Saint John, N.B. About six years later we couldn't decide where we wanted to go so I suggested we go to a spot we had en- joyed the most. Strangely we all chose Cabano. It was dark and gloomy when we arrived and we ldoked around for something that had attracted us to the spot - but nothing seemed the same. So we stayed about three days and travelled the countryside -we even tried fishing froip a bridge over a small river. A policeman came along and slowed down -we thought he was go- ing to talk to us but he went on. Much later we found that visitors MUST have a licence, which cost con- siderably, to fish in their waters! We didn't catch anything, anyway. Oh, I recall we had stopped at a place near the bridge to see if we could get some worms. We tried to explain what we wanted but the langtiage we couldn't speak. About an' hour later they brought us sorne fish which they had -almost -thawed. At least they had the general idea. huge rock. I have since made a painting of the big rock and I love it - then we went on to St. John again. -A different way home and we could set- tle down again. I enjoy travelling. There is so much to see. Plan your trips for midsummer in that area.
