A must have while in Canada is poutine. This is my sacrifice one lunch at Dixie Lee on our way to Gaspe from Ste. Flavie. Dan had his on another travel day.
I couldn't eat all of this - besides French fries, cheese curds, and gravy there were pieces of chicken.
Ste. Flavie Pier
Notice the flannel shirt on Dan. It was a very cool morning with a brisk wind when we went to check out the pier.
Notice the rocks that support the pier now. Once upon a time it was wooden with pilings but a major storm removed it.
The wind came along and took Dan's hat flying down into those rocks. It's a special hat - purchased in Finland in 2016. He was not going to give up on it so he climbed down the rocks. He got it as you can see below.
A last look at the statues before saying good bye to Ste. Flavie.

Part 3A - On to Gaspe on Sunday June 29th.
We had overcast skies and some rain for this portion of the drive.
Despite the heavy clouds it was a beautiful drive.
Every time we came to a river coming into the St. Lawrence there would be another town.
Arriving in Gaspe, here is the sign for our bed and breakfast.
And the steps up to it. Fortunately there was a parking lot around the back side.
This is a photo of the original house now the private residence of the owners and the breakfast room of the BnB.
The best room yet of all we stayed in.
A short walk brought us to this important spot.
Part 3B to come.

It’s a scenic region. I have never been there, so it’s nice to travel along with you.
...a fabulous trip and poutine is a bonus!
It looks like a lovely trip. I just cannot eat poutine, My husband loves it. I am not a gravy eater and gravy on french fries does me in. lol.

Thanks for sharing the info on your Canada travels and it looks like the weather cooperated too. I have only had poutine in the US but the one you showed looked good and very filling too and, of course, no calories, right?
I am a huge fan of poutine, but I eat it very sparingly. We will be staying at Montmagny for a night on our way to PEI next month, so maybe then.
So much to see there! The scenery is just stunning.
I'm sure I would love poutine. Just as well I have no access to it.
Thanks for taking us along, even into your bedroom! I think I'd eat a bit of that poutine, it does sound delicious. Glad your hubby was able to retrieve his hat!
