The skating rink ended up being a great place to camp. I got a good sleep and followed 148/158 all day and had to deal with very little traffic. At one point I stopped into a grocery store to find they have a system of returning recyclable cans to giant machines that crush them and tally up the value for people to spend in the store. Pretty neat little machines, I wish we had them at home! The small towns along the way were full of nice brick houses and very fancy churches, I'm not sure I can get away with camping in church yards here.
Around 9pm I stopped into a diner for coffee and decided to get a mini pizza to fuel my ride into the quiet night. The roads were great and the weather nice and cool under a full moon as I rode on another 30 km through sparse farm lands until I found a strange little religious display with a nice hidden grassy area behind it to camp called "Sanctuaire Notre-Dame-de-la-paix". The little building contained many lit candles that gave off a lot of heat and there were many pictures of what I assume to be missing people hanging on the walls. Turns out this was a little temple for Saint Thomas.
There was also an outlet hidden away in a corner which I used to plug my front light in to keep it charged for more night riding. The way today went I think I will be doing most of my travel through Quebec in the evenings to enjoy the change of scenery and get a break from the heat. If the roads and weather stay like this I'll make some great time in the next few days. Loving Quebec so far :)
