We headed for the nearest mountain, Mont St. Hilaire, about 45 minutes away. As we approached the entrance to the park we realized we were not the only city dwellers with this idea. Imagining the crowded and noisy trails, we retreated. We pulled over a few minutes later and took the following photos:
We decided to keep heading away from the city in search of just the right park in which to have lunch and a long stroll. We made it all the way to Sorel where there is a ferry that takes cars and passengers across the St. Lawrence river. We had our picnic in the car and enjoyed the sun and breezes on the upper deck.
We never did find a park to stroll in and we finally found our way back to the city a good four-plus hours later. But it was a beautiful day nonetheless. The scenery was wonderful, as was the company. After supper we did go for a hike...in our neighborhood.
