Day 107: Saint- Jovite, QC

August 12, 2017

We spent today getting a tour of Mont Tremblant, then this evening we went to a party with Jacques' niece and nephew.

Mont Tremblant is a ski resort that is busy with tourists in the summer as well. We took the cabriolet up the mountain and walked back down past the shops and restaurants. Even though it was raining on and off, the village was full of people.

We saw this group of Japanese children all lined up on their bikes. I'm not sure if they were going to just ride or race, but they were posing for pictures when we saw them.

The village is getting ready for their local Ironman triathlon next Sunday. Jacques has volunteered with the event for several years and took us around to see the various venues.

Jacques' niece Dianne and her husband Stephane invited us to join them for a party at a friend's house tonight. There were about 20 people there and we had a very good time. The food was excellent and we meet a bunch of very nice people. The host and hostess are cyclists and had a 35 year old tandem which Kerry went to see, but he didn't get a picture.
