Once again, the scenery was beautiful, although somewhat less visible due to the falling rain. The route led through numerous small towns including the lovely Ste. Anne de la Perade, where the Findlays visited the Ste. Anne church. It is a magnificent building with twin towers stretching 30 metres into the sky. The tower bells chime "fa, sol and la" to ring the parishioners into mass. The church has a 100 year old organ that has over 2000 pipes!
The route into Trois Riviere passed quickly and soon the Reo was negotiating the narrow, twisting streets of the old city, which was founded in the 1600s.
Once again the travellers were quite captivated by the history and culture that is so evident in this part of Canada. And as usual, the people they met welcomed them warmly and new friendships were quickly formed.
On a rainy day, with no windshield wiper.
... A friendly pizza man led us through old Trois Rivieres.
On this day in 1912 ...
