Dear Gilles,
In Saint-Sauveur, we went out for breakfast poutine. It's a Quebec thing. It also gave us meat-sweats and we weren't hungry at all for the remainder of the day.
From Saint-Sauveur we detoured down to Fort Henry, advertised as a National Historic Site. This site is not included in the Canada Strong pass because it's provincially run. Our travels are turning full circle on us now.
It was fun. There was a high number of summer students in uniforms in +35C heat. They're earning every penny keep year.
Another neat fact about this fort, is that it is 'mostly' original. Since it's younger than the other National Historic Sites we visited, it hadn't been caught up in so many English/French regime changes and blown up and destroyed. As this fort came towards modern day, the walls did see points of wear and crumbling. As the bricks were replaced, they were identified with a metal stamp and the year of replacement (ie 1966, 1973).
We made it to Mom's house just before 8pm.
