We left Montmagny this morning in a rainstorm.......not a Starbucks in sight. Our plan was to drive a little and hopefully hit a private little cafe. Right away we spotted a Macdonalds and then a Tim Hortens.....not for us! Further on down the coast we finally succumbed to macdonalds! Surprisingly decent coffee. I don't think Starbucks has come to small town Quebec.
Our drive took us along the coast beside the st Lawrence river, or better known as the st. Lawerence seaway. There are many little towns, very well kept houses and gardens, painted in lots of different colours, red, yellow, white, grey, brilliant greens too!
We purchased some cheeses, pate, salami, & fruit which we will have for lunch for a couple of days
The leaves are changing but I'd say not finished yet.....colours are yellow, apricot, orange, some green and some red. The weather is very wet so a bit difficult for taking photos or strolling about. This is also Sunday which means most places are closed. We saw lots of cars parked in churchyards.
We are staying in a "motel" right on the Seaway which at this point looks like the ocean. It is blustery and wet out there, fun to see the seagulls hanging in the wind currents and hear the sound of the water. Our abode will close for the season tomorrow!
Tonight we will go out for a meal as we have been told there are a couple of options.
Hoping for better weather tomorrow as we will make our way to Gaspe and beyond.
Au revoir

Sounds nice. I understand that McDonald's now has the coffee that use to be Tim Horton's brand. You need to post some pictures in your blog!
