Canada- Day 2 (Montmorency Falls)

Thursday morning, we woke up and rented a car at the airport.  Then, we headed towards Quebec!  It was supposed to be a 2.5 hour drive from Montreal, but we hit some traffic and made a couple of tops along the way, so it took a little over 3 hours.

A few things to note.  Of course, everything is in kilometers, so it's funny seeing my speedometer and speed limit signs say "100".  Also, all the road signs were in French.  Most of it I could figure out what it meant, but some of the more unique signs threw me for a loop.  We stopped at a little diner place for lunch (all French) and went to Walmart to get some bottled water (everything was in French).  And when I say it's in French, I mean- there is no English.  In Montreal, probably over half the signs would have French first and bigger, but then English underneath.  The closer we got to Quebec, the less English we saw!

We headed to Montmorency Falls, a large waterfall about 15 minutes north of Quebec City.  It was beautiful, and Sydney got to zipline across the falls!
