It was our first day with Paul Manuel, our new volunteer driver. He didn’t get much driving in though because I didn’t do any running.
Our day began at the Geant Motorise shop, the dealer for our RV, to try and fix a number of things that weren’t working with the MCC. It turns out though that the guy we met there couldn’t fix any of them or didn’t have the part so really, it was a waste of the morning. He just kept saying “oh that’s electrical” or “manufacturers’ defect” etc.
From there we went to find a Laundromat and while getting our laundry done Mike and I went to get haircuts. Mike spoke to my lady in French and quickly so I didn’t really know what kind of a haircut I was going to get but it turned out ok. Well it sort of turned out ok, I had to cut the front of it myself after I got back to the MCC because it was still pretty long in front. Mike told me later that my hairdresser was saying that she almost never cuts boys hair and she really wasn’t used to it. Next time I’m getting my haircut in English.
I worked on my research until 4pm when it was time for physio. Bert Belanger, our physio from Edmunston, had recommended the place we went to. I met David LaPerriere there and he stretched out all the muscles in my legs but told me that I should get massages in the future as opposed to just physio, unless I get another injury. My legs felt pretty good afterwards.
We drove around Quebec City for the rest of the afternoon; saw the Plains of Abraham and old Quebec. I couldn’t remember much about the Plains of Abraham other than who fought and who won, but Paul gave us a much more detailed history lesson. Quebec City is beautiful. Old Quebec reminds me of a European city and the views of the St Lawrence are great.
Back in the Holt Renfrew parking lot, Mike and Paul made dinner while I worked on my blog. I had wanted to use today to catch up but I was only able to get one day done so I am now 5 days behind still. I may have to start combining days.
