Day Two...Shrines of Quebec Pilgrimage

This morning we said goodbye to Sudbury after a good (but short!) night's rest.  Most of the day was spent on the road, with a couple breaks en-route.  We've been blessed with great weather and good spirits. 

We are now in Montreal, overnighting at the Holiday Inn.  A few of us enjoyed an evening stroll, while others prepared to call it a night! We're looking forward to a big day tomorrow with visits scheduled for St. Joseph's Oratory and Notre Dame Basilica.  Then we're off to Ste. Anne de Beaupre!

Here's a few pictures from the course of the day:

"Anyone for musical chairs?"
 

Entering Quebec did involve tackling a few obstacle courses...
 

In search for answers, we find more questions...

"Man cannot live on bread alone."  However, we won't complain!
 

Pilgrimages can have a way of changing one's whole perspective. 
Fr. Terry, deep in prayer...
 

After a long day on the road, it's time to sit down to a relaxing meal.
 
 
The sun sets on another day.  Good night!
