St Lawrence River - its much wider than the Murray!

The french culture in Quebec is very evident in Riviere where english is little spoken. We had a most enjoyable stay with Carl et Lorraine who recommended a lovely french restaurant to us, overlooking the river which is 23km wide at this point. The next day we visited a Christmas museum that included nativity scenes from 24 countries and the biggest Xmas store in Canada. Then we drove along the river, enjoying several small villages including the town of Saint Jean Paul Joli, where there was a red roofed church dating back to 1779 and the Musee de Ancien Canadians, a museum dedicated to many skilled wood carvers located in the district. A fog or long white cloud was present over the river for the entire day.
