Woodstock to Levis

Woodstock is a quaint town, full of very large old houses (4 stories including the basement). From my observation Tim Horton's coffee shop has replaced the local cafe in towns like Woodstock as the local meeting place for the locals. We discovered that not only do they sell coffee and doughnuts, but alos soups and chillt beans.
Anyway left Woodstock early in the morning, overcast but warm. Drove scenic route to Hartland to see the large covered bridge (about 400 metres long). It was closed for repairs. Drove past Florence, home base for McCains, the multinational frozen food company. Got back on Transcanada (new 4 lane hightway0, stopped at Grand Falls to see the sights, then had a coffee and bagel at Tim Horton's. When we hit Quebec we hit the rain and very low cloud, plus very poor roads one lane and lots of traffic. Got onto highway 20 (4 lanes) and headed for Levis. Had another stop at Tim's for soup and baked beans. Got to Levis around 3.30 pm (forgot we gained an hour when we crossed into Quebec). It poured with rain during the night. Couldn't see Quebec city across the river because of cloud (the weather is associated with Ike).

Had dinner, washed some clothes then read.

Tomorrow we drive to Toronto (through Montreal- which is a scary experience).

The B&B in Levis is great, Dianne and Jacque are very welcoming and make you fell at home.
