Summertime

And the living in easy...Fish are jumping and the cotton is high

Summertime is one of my favorite song of all time!

Summer on the other hand is not my favorite season....I don't like the heat and humidity and of course I sweat a lot!

Did I mention that I didn't sweat in Gaspesie?

 Just looking at the Rocher Perce cools me off!

 I saw this rock on the beach, actually that is part of the beach

I love the striation of the rock. This is something you see a lot of in 

Gaspesie.

 All along the road there are cute rest areas with picnic tables and

really clean bathroom.

I was so surprised by the bathrooms because we visited a lot of awful ones in Maine....

Sorry Maine, I still love you but that one is Sunday River was disgusting!

 Here in Perce , there is a boardwalk along the river

so you can take leisurely walks.

 This is the room in Hotel St-Germain in Rimouski.

The exterior of the hotel look like much but the rooms

are all renovated and all have a full kitchen.

Super clean too! a lot of storage for your luggage.

 This is the bedroom in Gaspe.

no kitchen but a mini fridge and a coffee corner

 This is the living room in Gaspe. The sofa converts in a Murphy bed!

And this is a happy camper!

The purple necklace is actually my personal

fan! It really helps cooling me off and is 

the best $9.99 I've ever spent!

Until next time.....

stay safe and keep on thrifting

Vacation!

It has been a really longtime since I posted anything....

What can I say? Life continues.....

Right now I am on vacation and it feels wonderful!

Instead of going to Maine or New Hampshire this year because the currency exchange is so crappy we decided to visit a part of Quebec I'd never been to....

Gaspesie!

 on our way we stopped in Rimouski. this is technically

the St-Lawrence river, but the water is now salty and

subject to tides.

 I was so excited to see so much driftwood!

and sea glass!

Of course I brought some home.....

 This is the view from the hotel. Gaspe is so quiet....

Rush hour is non-existent!

It is a great place to take walks.....

 Of course a visit to the Perce rock (rocher Perce)

is a must when you're in the area.

Unfortunately we arrived when the tide was coming in, so we were 

not able to take pictures of the hole!

I also took this pictures because this is where Samuel de Champlain

laid claim to Canada, thus it is the birthplace of Canada.

It made me feel really proud to stand in the same spot as the founder 

of our great country.

I hope to post soon with more pictures of the trip and some thrifting I did.

Be well!
