[Magdalen] Where to go?

[Marion Thompson]

I think Montreal for a few days, Quebec City, then drive east along the 
South Shore (remembering to look north across the mighty St. Lawrence at 
the mountainous heights east of Quebec City -- Mt Ste Anne, Charlevoix, 
Saguenay, and the like -- one of my favourite vistas ever)  and south 
into New Brunswick following the St. John River to St. John.  From 
there, either drive to Fredricton  and then south into Nova Scotia, or 
take the ferry across the Bay of Fundy to Digby, Nova Scotia, and make 
your way ultimately to Halifax by several choices of scenic and 
interesting routes.  Halifax is charming and historic and is the home of 
the Granite Brewery amongst other pubs and pleasures.  Just saying.
