June 28 - Poutine .... Here we come!


We set off this morning at 4:45 in surprisingly good spirits!  Flight uneventful.   

After we landed, I was looking for an oversized Canadian flag - or even a maple leaf in front of which, I could capture a photo of my smiling family as we entered into Canada.  I was not expecting this to be difficult ... This is Canada - there are maple leaves *everywhere*,  right?  I couldn't find one ... hmmm.   After driving through downtown Montreal en route to Quebec City, I made a point to look for flags - none.  We made a game of it for the kids ... A loonie to anyone who can spot a Canadian flag ... 🇨🇦.  The kids did not get rich today.   Oddly, there are very few Quebec provincial flags flying either (admittedly, more than Canadian flags but still ...)  we drove through 2 major cities and the countryside in between - nothing!! 

I intend to do some research and find out what gives with the flag-o-phobia here!  

On a side note - had our first Poutine ... At McDonald's.  Surprisingly good!  Yum! Tucked in to bed in Chateau Frontenac.  😴
