ROAD TRIP: TROIS-RIVIÈRES: D-Minus 6


Yes, another road trip!

More meetings for Francois.  Playing travel companion for me.  Can't complain though - nice hotel, don't have to cook, get to meet more interesting people and see new things.  Life is good.....but really, really, really busy!

This week it is coordinating and planning for Francois with his Kenya group.  I will spend my time wandering around the city, taking pictures (more practice), reading about Africa and arranging a few final details.  I love being able to conduct business from a distance.  What did we ever do before intelligent phones and internet?
 

Hôtel Gouverneur Trois-Rivières



Upgraded to the executive floor (just $20 more)
larger room, free breakfast and wifi.



 Central location and just across the street 
from Francois' meetings

Really frosty today (wimpy Kat).....made a pot of tea and curled up by the window to read...tomorrow I'll explore...maybe.
 

A few weeks ago we attended a Meet and Greet hosted by the Shawinigan Chamber of Commerce.  One of the displays was from the catering services of 'Le Rouge Vin' restaurant located here in the hotel.  Their canapé samples were delicious and so beautifully presented that we thought we would try out the restaurant while here.





Forgot that Francois was working this evening so I dined alone.  Delicious meal, great service, pleasant music (Great American Songbook).  Sipped a very nice Pinot Noir then off to bed.  




....Tomorrow brings us one day closer....
