Today we will travel the last leg of the mainland portion of the trip although we many have to wait for weather before crossing the 125 miles to Iles De La Madeleine.
I think this stretch of the Gaspe is one of the most beautiful. The shoreline started out with mountains and changed to shear cliffs (with Lighthouses) and the famous Perce Rock and concluded with a beautiful Gaspe typical fishing village.
The people are friendly and helpful and very happy to have us anglophones visitors. We have always been able to find someone who can help us communicate (our French is a bit shaky). I was wondering why people go to Europe when rural Quebec and the Gaspe offer so much culture and scenery.
Tomorrow we will wait out the East wind and the rain – a day in port is always welcomed and busy with so much to do. Hope they have Internet.
