Day 25. August 31, 2013. At the beach in Gaspe' peninsula

Here are some photos of last night!s sunset.  We slept, listening to the waves lapping on the shore.   Big group of tourists taking photos of the sunset.  No other Americans.  

This AM, we had breakfast on the beach.... Gaspe freshly-picked raspberries in yogurt.  It is European style...so much better than what you can buy in USA.

Spent the day driving east along the St. Lawrence.  I think this is the 3rd day that we have gone straight east.  The brochures say that National Geographic Traveler magazine voted this area as one of the top 20 destinations in the world.  

We stopped midday at a lighthouse and had lunch.  I had some local cheese that had peppercorns in it.  What a treat!  As George was checking the car before we took off, he discovered that the spare tire was about to fall off, due to all the bumpy roads we have been on.  We stopped in a couple of garages, but there were no welders available, since it is Labor Day weekend.  We Jerry-rigged it with bungee cords and drove on.  We made it to the end of the peninsula, and now turned south and eventually west.  

We are in Perce, still in Gaspe Peninsula.  This area is famous for whale and seal-watching, and lobster fishing.  Unfortunately, the weather turned, and is foggy and misting.  Will stay here another night as to tomorrow is supposed to be nicer.
