This photo was taken on the road as we headed for our first stop in Quebec last Saturday. It is notable for the fall colors starting to show up in the trees and for its location. This was taken in St-Louis-du-Ha!-Ha! I kid you not; that is how the name appeared on the road signs, exclamation points and all. Someone had a sense of humor.
We stayed in the much more ordinary L’Islet-sur-Mer, which wasn’t on the sea…
but was on the St. Lawrence River.
It was a pretty place with an interesting shoreline.
It had some very old houses. The plaque on this one says “Maison ancestrale 1681.
Just inland of the RV park was this small church. Built in 1835,
the back of the church was rounded.
Down the street was this much larger church. It was built (or at least founded) in 1768.
The back of this one was also rounded.
The builders seemed to like curves in this little village.
It made for some interesting places.
Now we are staying at Piopolis. This is a little municipal campground…
on Lac-Megantic.
The campsites are small but as long as no one uses the one right next to us Matey and I have a nice view from the tent.
It’s a short walk to town where there’s a tiny Magasin General.
There’s the required Catholic Church with bells that sound the hours.
The name of this gallery means “life hidden in stone”. I like that.
This fire tower, built in 1947, is not a lookout. They used it to hang the linen fire hoses out to dry.
There is also a pub,
and some pretty homes.
We walked down to the marina. The campground is just across the little bay.
We also explored a short side trail.
It just led out to a place where you might want to wet a line in the lake.
Another nicely kept campground in a nicely kept little town and a fine place for our last stop in Canada.
On the Roam Again 
So interesting and pretty. I wonder if they rounded the buildings because of the wind? Seems like that would be challenging to build.
Love and continued happy trails. Judy

Very interesting and pretty scenery and buildings! The building with the red roof has such a neat pattern in the brickwork! I noticed that the St. Lawrence river looks kind of muddy, but the lake is really pretty. Your picture showing the ‘life hidden in stone’ gallery reminds me of something that a wood carver said. He was carving an elephant out of wood and someone asked him how he did it. He said, “I just carve away everything that doesn’t look like an elephant.”
