Smiling In the Rain
As I was framing the picture, Michael whizzed by, smiling ear-to-ear. By the 3rd day of rain, I don't think he was smiling quite so broadly.

Illustrating the Point
Sometimes signage just doesn't pull punches. Variations of this sign were seen along the way with different levels of damage to the child. Blunt and to the point.

Arrêt
Proof that we're in Quebec, the only place in the world that doesn't use STOP.

Didn't Help
Litigious Americans don't put up signs like this, but, never the less, 3 Americans took a tumble on the wet cinders.

Need More of These
This time the sign obsession was because I just wish we had ones like this to remind people they can't see over the hill.

Locked Americans
With the amount of time we spent riding along canals, we finally got to watch one in action...a boat with a couple from North Carolina.

Mt St. Hilaire
We chased this landmark most of the morning. Given that the shoreline terrain was generally extremely flat, this hill stood out for miles.

Tin Roof Church
Snapped this one while Dennis was off buying bakery. I considered converting this to black and white when we got home, but I like it the way it is.

Tin Cans Not Allowed
The international signage obsession continues. Tin cans not allowed? Can I use plastic? $200 to smash them? What if I want to leave the whole?

Edwina Cross the St Lawerence
Leaving the Richelieu, we needed to get to the other bank of the St. Lawerence. The St. Lawrence is a short mile wide at this point.

Last Victorian
While the trip was punctuated by scores of examples of well-preserved farmhouse architectures, this was, by far, the best Victorian example we saw. Coincidentally, it was also the house at our last ride's turnaround.
