Quebec for a couple of days

Leaving Ottawa this morning we followed the highway to Quebec.  You can tell as soon as you reach the border as the signs are no longer in English - no English - not even French first, then English.

Driving through Montreal was a little stressful.  We made it, but it took three of us (Paul, me and Lizzie the GPS) to get there.  The most difficult parts were the long pieces of information about detours and construction and trying to figure out really quickly what it all said and if we needed to change lanes.

The place we are at is called Compton.  It is not even on the map that I received at the tourist information centre when we first crossed into Quebec.  If you are looking for it on a map, just look for Coaticook as it is only a couple of miles from there.

The sunset this evening was beautiful and we are looking forward to just kicking back and relaxing for a couple of days.
