Discovering a New Place to Walk

From time to time, Terry and I go to a river lookout on the Ottawa side of the river that separates Ontario and Quebec. We like to stand and look over at a quaint old neighborhood on the Quebec side, a neighborhood that is often threatened by flooding during the spring thaw. 

Earlier this year, I thought it would be fun to drive over to those quaint streets now that summer is here.

 What are they really like...?

But whenever we went, with the intent of exploring, the roads were closed to cars. Only bikes traffic was allowed.

But a few days ago, we headed over again, hoping that the street would again be open to cars.

It was! So we parked the car and walked next to the river, looking towards the Ottawa side!

It was really lovely! I felt as if we were tourists in some sea-side town... the river looked so wide from this new perspective.

There are interesting seating areas that encourage one to relax and enjoy the view.

I definitely want to do this again. 

The Quebec side of the river has so many new places for us to explore!
