Percé

Yesterday we left Gaspé and drove around the eastern tip of the peninsula. The views were beautiful!
We stopped in Percé for lunch and a little walk around town. This enormous rock is the town's claim to fame. There is a hole through it, but you can't see it here.
Lunch at the beach
Percé was a charming little tourist town. There were lots of people there strolling around, shopping, and walking on the beach.
We finally got a good view of the rock on our drive out of town. We couldn't stop, so here's an action shot taken out the back window of the van.
After a concert in Maria, we spent the night at a bed-and-breakfast in Carleton, both on the southern coast. This morning we drove back across the middle of the peninsula and back up to the north coast. We have one last concert in Cap-Chat tonight before our break (and my trip home)! As soon as the concert is over, Fred and I will drive all night to the airport in Quebec City. Wish us luck catching our 6 am flights.
