Day 6: Portneuf to St. Vallier

This morning we started out in Portneuf after our very restful day off. We ventured...can you guess what direction...yep you got it right, east! Through Quebec City and on to Saint-Vallier. Getting through Quebec was much more enjoyable than Montreal. The Green Route was straight forward and not once did I want to be voted off an island haha

When we met up with Mom and Dad for lunch, the idea arose for Mom to bike the next part of the route with us. After consulting with the map, we figured out a location for Dad to meet us at down the way and off the three of us went! For the next 14 km, all I heard Mom say was "I can go faster" and "Pass these people!" Even on her mountain bike with only one working gear, Mom managed to ride the whole way averaging more than 20 km/hr! She's an all star:)

Dad and Liz went off to another fromagerie once we had our campsite set up, so we tried out the cheese from yesterday and the one they just found...both were awesome. I'm sure we'll be eating more cheese tomorrow haha

Today's champion hat was shared between my sister and I for helping our Mom through the 14 km. We have a great picture of the three of us on the route with the Chateau Frontenac (or whatever the big castle in old Quebec is called) but it's on my camera not the phone so it can't be displayed yet. Maybe one day!

Now off to sleep to the lovely sound of a fountain, noisy frogs and the occasion train haha It'll be an interesting night!!
