Side by side - Canada & Quebec co-exist
Typical French Canadian house with painted tin roof, Built 1850's, Mansonville, Que
Covered Bridge Road
As advertised, the Covered Bridge 
Inside the Covered BridgeI went into Mansonville today to get a smoked meat sandwich, unique to this area. It is delicacy introduced to this area by the Jewish delis, instead of corning the beef, they smoked it....yummy. The other big regional treat is poutine but that is so-o rich, I'll have to work up to it. http://electron.mit.edu/~gsteele/poutine/
After running errands and I took lots of pictures of Mansonville- with no hint that it is within miles of the US border, no fast food places, no US franchises, just a sleepy little French Canadian town, stuck somewhere in the last 150 years. Then I headed off onto some of the local country roads and found a covered bridge.
It is all very quaint and picturesque, everywhere I look it is so beautiful, and seems timeless. Mostly, I just love the greenery. After the big storm that blew in yesterday, things are so crisp and clear.
