When I arrived in Fort Rupert, Quebec I was so excited!!! I went to my hotel and checked in and then went to explore around the city. there stores are so unique here, I made sure to get Canadian Bacon and a snow globe here (I plan on getting a snow globe every town that I'm stopping at so I will always remember my trip.) Once I got my snow globe I went to my hotel room and dropped everything off and then changed clothes to go fishing in the Rupert River. I ended up catching a big mouth bass and a rainbow trout plus I saw a big Black Bear!!!! When I was done fishing I went back to my hotel to go to bed. My day in Fort Rupert was done and I dreamed about my next stop, Chihuahua, Chihuahua.
