Day 98: Ste.-Anne-de-la-Perade - Levis

Daytime

We were up and out of camp pretty smartly this morning, hoping to get out of the woods before any dog-walkers or joggers discovered us.

It was a cool day on the bike with scattered rain showers throughout, and a gentle headwind.
Small towns, once again, dot the route and the silent river is river far from us.

Railway trestles

Today we are aiming at Levis (Levi, like the jeans) and are hoping to camp on the lawn outside the Walmart.

Before we get to Walmart, we need to cross the Quebec Bridge, celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. It is a pretty impressive bridge, with some intricate ironwork all along it.
We dismount and walk our way across this bridge, traffic zooming past us and making the bridge vibrate madly.

Once across, tempers are fraying as hunger and coldness sets in, so we hurry to Walmart and duck inside to get dinner supplies.
We cooked up a pretty tasty meal on the park bench outside the store, attracting a few stares from passing shoppers.

We setup the tents at around 7 and were in bed pretty soon afterwards.
