Day 13-En Fin
Saturday, June 16. The last day of the trip. I woke cool and comfortable in the room Bruce had provided the day before. I would have liked to have slept longer, but the sun was bright (Why wouldn’t it be? It came up at 4:30 a.m.!), and I heard voices below. Even though it was only 6:30 a.m., I feared I was the last one up.Read More »Day 13-En Fin
Day 12-Port Daniel to New Richmond
We awoke on June 15 at Les Acres Tranquilles near Port Daniel to the breakfast portion of our bed & breakfast. The most delicious pain du perdue (i.e. French toast) I’ve ever had. Also orange juice, small cinnamon rolls and tartlettes, fresh yogurt. Délicieux!
Day 11-Percé to Port Daniel
We woke to sun in Percé on June 14 after a night of camping at the Geoparc of Percé. The forecast had shown rain all day long, so it was a nice surprise. Read More »Day 11-Percé to Port Daniel

Day 5-Hallelujah a Tailwind
We “lost” 10 miles yesterday and stopped early at Gîte du Domaine-Joseph Ross. We decided to try to recoup those miles today, for a total of 57 miles. Our longest day if we don’t have to make up any miles, and my longest mileage in a day to date. (57 miles!)Read More »Day 5-Hallelujah a Tailwind
