On the way out

I have almost reached the end of Quebec! I am currently in Riviere-du-Loup, on the south shore of the St Lawrence River. Tommorow i head south to Notre Dame du Lac, and then New Brunswick on sunday! I am very excited, though I am sure the border crossing will pass without much fanfare. Nevertheless, it will be nice to go to a province with a better chance of finding and Anglophone than I have hear. The last few days have been quite lovely, even though the wind is STILL against me. Maybe Chris Henry is right, and the big G is spiteing me for my lack of faith. Ah well, ill show him who`s god.
Quebec was lots of fun, as I finnally met some people my own age, including a sailor from New Brunswick and two nice German girls (apparently they dont listen to death metal or David Hasselhoff, who knew?) I got to walk around the city, see the Plains of Abraham and the old citadel, which was very nice. Also, the hostel was quite comfy, and I got to play some foosball, which always bolsters the spirit.
The terrain since leaving Quebec city has been great, with lots of rolling hills and mountains, though luckily i get to go between most of them, rather than over. Its much more interesting than flat Ontario, and Im excited to see the coast in NB and NS.One really neat thing leaving Quebec was meeting two men who are doing the `Multi-faith walk against Violence.` They are literally walking across the whole country, from Halifax to Vancouver! I stopped and chatted with them, wished them luck and continued on my relatively paltry journey. Oh well, someones always gotta one up you. I can truly understand why this is called La Belle Province, though really only north of Q city.
I also got to go to walmart today to buy some new clothes, since my old ones were a little ratty. Also, I picked up some pyjama pants, which will hopefully keep me a little warmer when I camp, as dave`s sleeping bag has been less than toasty so far. Thats all for now, thanks to everyone for the support, especially Janey and Jamie for their unorthodox theories on wind, and I will see you on the road!
