This morning we all bid farewell to the East Coast, which more than lived up to its friendly reputation. By the end of our stay, we feared we were taking advantage of Halifax drivers proclivity to wave us in and let us do whatever we want on the road. No matter what wrong turn or crazy maneuver we made, there was not a single horn honk heard while we were there.
The beginning of our trip to Quebec was the liveliest we've been with conversations bouncing back and forth through the van, a far cry from our usual sedate half-sleeping repose. Most of the day, it was absolutely gorgeous out, with shining sun, and blue sky dotted with clouds. We got a number of shots filmed of our protagonists hitchhiking on the side of the road.
The day ended with a huge rainstorm, preceded by a spectacular display of lightning. The rain had diminished to a spatter by the time we pulled into Quebec City at around 11PM. As we drove around looking for a place to stay, I was overwhelmed by what the city looked like at night. This is going to be an amazing city to get to know. There was no room at any inns downtown, and their prices were outside of our budget anyway, so we've settled in a motel on the outskirts of town.
There's lots of work to do here, including some very dynamic shots. It should be fun.
