This is Frais season – special strawberry dishes, lots on stands and farm
corners. Different from the California ones. A little less sweet, smaller,
more fragile, no white inside (all goodness). About $5 Canadian a quart and
well worth it.
Pictures of Feve du Lard. Their bean dish. Served as shown from a big pot
into bean pots. For breakfast a bean pot and two thick, verey thick, slices
of toast. Oddly made without maple syrup.
Waiter made a couple of mistakes this evening. Nothing was said by the
boogs. No bill came; when I asaked he said comped or the equivalent in
Quebecoise. The errors were: ran out of moules, forgot a salade we did not
need, forgot my frites, did remind him on that point.
Dinner was lake perch. Fresh from Lac du Piere.
Good storm, excellent clouds. Rode in moderate but comfortable rain, no
mud. Not a death ride.
Took too much time booking ahead for thew 'morrow. First 5 places
'complet'. Not many choices.
Big sucess with getting fresh laundry. Hotel allowed up to use their
facility. After we got it started they finished the drying and folding and
delivered. All outside the system.
Walked the old city. Amazing number of gelato places and quite a few
restaurants. In second oldest city in Quebec.
Catching up on pictures from the isle d'ronde visit.
