Day 20. August 26, 2013. St. Lawrence River

We spent some time doing repairs.  Since we are taking back roads, we are driving on some bad roads. The bikes are taking a beating.  George also had to check the camper  battery which seems to be dying.

All ok now.  

Again, took back roads  toward Quebec City, following the St. Lawrence River.  The towns look like they could be plucked out of rural France.  We stopped in Levis across the river from Quebec City.  We will go there tomorrow, but wanted to spend today on this side.  We explored and found a cute winery.  We were the only visitors, and the owner could speak pretty good English.  Interesting that the vintners here are familiar with MN since most of the cold-hardy wines up here were developed at Univ of Mn.  Interesting to hear their names....Pepin, St. Croix.   Quite nice visit

Dinner is potato soup with some cheese and bread from the region.  Our campsite has lots of seasonal campers, as they all seem to know each other.  They just finished a French happy hour.  Sante!
