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!
