Gaspe, Quebec - Day 2

Gaspe is a small fishing village of approximately 15,000 people, which is nestled up in the mountains. It is located north of Nova Scotia. I think they are in the wrong time zone. The sun begins to rise around 3:30, so I'm pretty sure they need to switch that because it is a bit of a bugger.

Here are a few shots of the view from my hotel room.




As you probably know, I work at LM Glasfiber in a rinky dinky cubicle back in Grand Forks. But when I traveled here to Gaspe, I was put up in a pretty awesome office with a view. I guess it pays to be the visitor. Check it out!


Here's just a few shots from around. This first one is the fish market, they have everything seafood related that you can imagine. And it is all brought in daily. YUMMY!!!


I probably don't need to state the obvious, but this is one of the marinas here.


Another fine establishment for lunch. Again it was very tasty. They salad came with a strawberry dressing and was fabulous. It made me think of summer, even if the weather outside doesn't.

And to end the day, I had to go for the chocolate mousse cake. This would be the perfect dessert for my sister Kim, the chocoholic.

Gaspe, Quebec (Canada) - Day 1

Well when you go this deep into Canada they throw you on a prop plane. Might have been good information to know in advance. Let's just say the ride was a bit bumpy.

The room is quite a bit different than what the website showed. Hmmm.... Maybe I got the wrong hotel?!?!


According to the website it looks a lot more like this. Maybe the O' Canadians haven't heard of false advertising. What do you think?


However, since Gaspe is right off the coast. The seafood is fresh and amazing!!!!
