Even though it was only 6:30 a.m., I feared I was the last one up.Read More »Day 13-En Fin
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!
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

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
