ECT Day 2: Old City by the River
Day 2 of our
East Coast Tour of Canada, was a lot different than our
first day. I say this knowing that every day will be completely different; however, day 2 of the trip provided us with our first day of actual adventure.
We got up, got ready, and left the hotel. From there we were on our own, with
Quebec City as our playground. Since we had no planed stops, we decided to follow our instincts, and just let the road guide our way.
After driving around for about 10 minutes, we found a huge bridge, which we assumed would bring us somewhere exciting. Once on the other side of the river, we were treated to a lovely country side drive, and a great view of the small town we had stayed in the night before. There was an eerie mist forming along the shoreline, which made the view even better, but the weather quickly picked up, forcing us to head back to the car. This is when we decided to head downtown and check out one of Canada's oldest cities in the rain.
Driving down the streets of Quebec City was a lot more visually pleasing than I thought it would be. It had the look of Old Montreal, but with a way more authentic feel. Each building had its own character and the people moved around in perfect harmony. It was as if we were in a movie, where everyone lived happily ever after.
We were no where ready to leave, but like the traveling band's lifestyle we are trying to emulate, we had to get on the road again, this time headed to
Fredericton.
The road to Fredericton was long and beautiful. It was also the first time on our trip, that we felt we had picked the perfect time of year to travel, as we weaved through hills and valleys coloured red, yellow and orange. Things didn't stay this pretty for long though.
As soon as the sun went down, we got caught in an intense rain storm, that nearly washed us off the road. Lucky, we were following a giant truck that guided our way on the blurred highway. The rain eventually let up as we got to Fredericton, where we checked into our 'interesting' hotel room and called it a night, resting up for our first on air interview or better yet, tour stop.
