Today was our last day in French Québec. This means that we will be leaving behind the big differences between the provinces of Québec and Ontario. No more French and other oddities like prices that read 1,95$ vs, $1.95.
When we left Matagami this morning, we encountered our coldest day of the trip. Temperatures this morning dropped below 40ºF. Later in the day temperature climbed back into the 70s, but we were traveling South all day.
Today we had our only mechanical issue of the entire trip. Ron's rear brake caliper worked it way loose and he was forced to stop. We went on ahead and once he was located, Dad and Kenny were dispatched to diagnose the problem. They made the roadside repair while the rest of us finished breakfast.
Other than that, the day was uneventful. We have already decided that we will be separating in the morning and everyone will leave for home on their own schedule. Dad, Raphael, Steve, and myself will be leaving in the morning together.
