June 28 Day 6 Gaspe' Quebec

Today turned out to be magical.  We started out early and drove 38 miles to Perce' to the Perce' Rock National Park. We started our journey at 74 degrees. In a short time it was 62 degrees. We got there and the fog was so thick we couldn't  see anything. The weather here is more fickle than in Maryland. It literally changes every 30 minutes.
 

It went from foggy to clear within the hour.

A ferry takes people by the Rock and then onto an island close by. We did not go on the ferry. We just walked all around.

We took a walk up to where you see this second little house and walked up a trail to the edge above the water were able to see the whole rock.

I LOVED this path up to where we could view the "rock".

Up this hill to where you see the top of THE ROCK!

Looking back at the "rock" past meadows of sweeping grasses. So Anne of Green Gables feeling.

It was massive and quite impressive just sitting there all by itself. The Northern Gannet's call this home.  The small island where the ferry takes people is home to over 110,000 of these seabirds.  They are fun to watch. They fly high then tuck their wings close to their bodies and dive sometimes 30-40 feet under the water to catch fish. 100's of them each take a turns to dive. Super fun to watch.

 

Around 3:30 we left behind sunny and warm temperatures

On our way back to Gaspe' we stopped by a few beautiful spots. This was a beach off the beaten path. We just stopped to look. 74 degrees!

Sea erosion.

We followed a bird sanctuary path to the end to meet these water washed out croppings. Needed to beware of where we stepped. Beautiful and wind swept. 64 degrees.

. 

Got back to out place of lodging safe and sound. 75 degrees.

We are beginning to plan our trip home tonight. We have loved our visit here in Gaspe'. It is a beautiful place, but I will be happy to be home when we get there. It will be a couple of days left on the trip. Just a little closer to home.

Can't  tell you where we will be cuz frankly I don't know!!! These Fogarty's fly by the seat of their pants you know!

Know this! I love you and look forward to seeing you soonish.
