MUNGO EATS Latin America

Tonight we are on the shore of the mighty St. Lawrence River.  What a huge waterway this is.  We are near Quebec City, in Beaumont, and the  far shore of the river  looks  so far away.  I would hazard to guess that it is about 3-5 kms wide at this point.  Further east it is so wide that the far shore is not even visible!!! 

It was rainy again today, but every once in a while, the rain would quit and the sun would come out and it would be quite nice.  During one of these breaks in the weather, we took Mungo down a HUGE set of stairs, that went from the campground to the shore of the St. Lawrence, 236 steps in all!  No one was around, so Mungo got to goof around off leash.

The height of the St. Lawrence ebbs and flows with the tide, so the shores have all sorts of things to discover.  Mostly it is garbage, plastic bottles and such, but we did find a volleyball and Mungo had a blast chasing that around.  It was just big enough that he couldn’t quite get his jaws around it (or it would have been popped in an instant).  Instead, he would chase it and push it around with his nose, and guard his treasure against us. 

Sometimes, you over run it, and you have to make such a quick stop that your back end flies up!

Eventually though, you go in for the kill bite!!

There were some beautiful flowers down on the shore.  There were forget-me nots,

chives,

and irises.

Also, we were surprised to find a waterfall emptying into the river. 

What a great place to explore!  It was almost worth climbing back up the 236 steps!!!  Almost.
