Maritimes - Day 31

Today involved more stressful driving, but we've finally left the populated parts of Canada behind.  This was just a long driving day as we left the Drummondville area, drove through an extremely busy highway around Montreal and then headed towards Ottawa.  The highway traffic was lighter as we drove into Ottawa, but coming out of Ottawa is was once again quite crazy, and it was half way to North Bay before the traffic finally spread out and mostly disappeared.

This part of northern Ontario is a bit different than the rest - as you are in a valley, the road is flatter and there are far more farms, houses and other roads that branch off the highway.  I exclaimed quite a few times about the large number of red lights we encountered on the highway.

We finished the day in North Bay, where we visited Sandra's aunt and uncle for supper and had a nice evening in their house.  Tomorrow is another driving day, as we head back to Sault Ste. Marie.
