This morning Mike and Stella fed us a hearty breakfast and even made us egg salad sandwhiches and bundles of fruit for lunch! Of course Stella didn't stop there... she rode with us 35km into Quebec - my idol! We had a big day ahead of us a total of 170km to complete before 4pm... but what an enjoyable ride! The "La Route Verte" (Green Route) is a beautiful cycling route that runs through Quebec. We enjoyed feeling like King and Queen of the road. We took a short 2km Ferry ride across the river and began getting very excited to see Loy, Nicole and the girls! We stopped in Rigaud to get the girls little gifts and then carried on to make it by our suggested time-line! I gave a "heads up" call and the whole Cochran family met us at the end of their drive-way and encouraged us up the big hill right before their beautiful home! Invited with open loving arms we continued to be treated like King and Queen - fed a delicious BBQ chicken and greek salad dinner (with dessert!) and had the run of the basement with a comfy bed, shower, laundry (even a big screen and movies!) The girls provided non-stop entertainment and we admired Nicole and Loy for their parenting skills! We got to see Travis and Tracy as well (what a treat!). A lot of laughing took place in the Cochran household. We REALLY enjoyed our stay! |
