Evening walk-jog on North Road - nice views of Camden Hills in late day light.
Brisk SW wind today. Long drive to Rockland, something we haven't done since 2014.

First part off watch.

BHS just before 9a. 90F in the forecast, so get it done. Thought I started the watch but a mile went by w/o paying attention. Another fellow, maybe in his 40s, was running seriously, fast and long in the oncoming heat.

Back from Quebec, 5 nights in two cities. Took some meandering roads between QC and Sherbrooke...lovely rural stuff...flat, then rolling, then hilly & forested. Quebec had fallen off my radar. Don't think I have been there much at all since 1984. We decided Montreal did predate '84. Late 70s & early 80s saw quite a bit of Canadian orienteering.

C • Quebec 6

Walking til all one wants to do is sit down. Also the Red Bus tour. After the
busy, colorful street in the lower town, we walked a mile before realizing we were actually beyond the bus stop. It all looked pretty much alike on Rte 136 by the huge St. Lawrence river. Turned on data & gps & voila, truth be told and two miles to show for it. 5 nights in two cities could be a first. Watching eople sure can be entertaining. An abundance of talented street musicians and performers. Boston is quite provincial compared to Montreal.

Early Sunday walk, mostly on McGill campus. Went 31' before seeing my 8th person. Stayed between Ave des Pins and Sherbrook at mid-height, above the usually bustling city, and out of the green morning shadow of Mt. Royale.

Guessed 18'/mi.

Then to Quebec City, arrived on summer festival day - frightening # of tourists!
Went to the fortress, La Citadelle, then worked hard to get to the nearby B&B with construction detours, barres etc.
