We enjoyed the cool breezes today and even welcomed a few drops of rain this evening, as we walked into Berthierville for dinner. We were on the 138 most of the day, with a few detours through smaller towns. There was a really nice rest stop with a "?" weir of stones, and a bunch of seagulls hanging out, and there were many stretches of bike lane to help keep the cyclists safe - there are sure a lot here in Quebec! Our accommodation in Berthierville was a big old Victoria manor house just before the bridge into the village. It had been a B&B up until August 10th, as the older couple who owned it had decided in late July that it was time to retire from the B&B business, but continue with their maple syrup business.  They kept our reservation as they knew we were en route since early August. They had our cell number and email, but chose to let us be one last set of guests, even though they had closed 15 days previous. It was a bit unnerving being the only guests, and in a room on an upper floor, at the end of a creaky flight of stairs - but B pointed out that it was the place last night that was haunted, not this one - Y thanked him for not mentioning the haunting last night!
