How are we so fortunate? We left our lovely inn at Roberval yesterday morning in brilliant sunshine, albeit with predictions of showers, and rode 56 miles around the lake to Dolbeau-Mistassin. The predicted showers didn't arrive until late at night, and this morning we arose very early, expecting rain but greeted with another beautiful day. Today's ride, a bit long at 85 miles, also took us to some of the loveliest scenery we have encountered. Our route went through a national park on Lac de St. Jean which is accessible only on foot or bicycle. Bicycle is recommended this time of year, as it allows you to stay ahead of the mosquitoes. 
Our route around the the lake is the Blueberry Loop. It is a little early for blueberries, so for us it the Greenberry Loop.
This lovely rapids was right behind our motel last night.
We decorated the other side of the building with drying laundry.
When in Rome... I tried poutine, Classic French-Canadian junk food--French fries, gravy, and cheese curds. As I feared, I loved it. Of course, most anything tastes good after a long ride.
