Blowin' in the Wind

We blew up the eastern shore of the St. Lawrence today, 60 miles from Montmagny to Kamouraska, with a tailwind of about 30 mph.  Great as it made today's ride, we know we have to ride the other direction next week.  We can only hope the wind will have blown itself out.

I have to correct yesterday's posting, as I said we are riding up river.  Since we are heading for the mouth of the St. Lawrence at the moment, we are going down river.  Tomorrow when we cross the St. Lawrence and head northwest, we will be going up the Saguenay River, heading toward its source.  

In addition to wonderful scenery, with lots of yellow fields that may or may not be flax, we came upon lots of fun and funny roadside art as we rolled along today.  Maybe the long winters inspire such creativity.  Our day ended on a fine note as well, with a modern dance concert at the waterfront.  The setting was magnificent, as the sun sank into a cloud bank across the water and seagulls soared overhead while the dancers imitated birds.
