Gaspe Peninsula


The Mighty Gaspe Peninsula!!

Well we made it finally to the Gaspe!! The trees are just starting to turn for fall. Kevan is tired of French road signs and deciphering them. It just a big challenge I see.

 My job is to retrieve coffee from Timmys/McD’s, or the odd gas station. That will be a cafĂ© noir grande se vous plais? Always back that up with merci, and if screwing things up –pardon!! Forget pronouncing doughnut in French I just point and smile and show the peace sign!!

Its very pretty scenery here and we have repeated the many mighty hills (some 14% grade). The only difference between here and Barkerville is about 3000ft. Rattletrap did just fine only one or two hills we almost lashed Ryanne to the front bumper!! 

Will be off to see the Jacques Cartier museum I think in the morning then off towards the border of New Brunswick- as Kevan says English road signs again hurray!!!
