| We tendered from the ship into Gaspe for our yellow school bus to Le Rocher de Perce. Don't feel bad...I never heard of it either... |
Slow reception so I will just post some pictures of today's adventure, which was an hour's drive from the little town of Gaspe to the Rock of Perce, a stupendous natural formation millions of years old. Along the way, the colors of the trees grew more and more spectacular, but from the bus I barely got a proper picture. We had a couple of hours in the town of Perce which consists of shops, a few restaurants and the majestic view of Le Rocher.

| Are we the only country in the world that doesn't have wonderful churches out in the middle of nowhere? This one has soaring towers as you can see below, and in the middle of the center rose window, the Star of David. Our guide, Benoit (call me Ben) explained that the architect was Jewish and thus the star. Truly a lovely interior. |
 |
| Impressive, eh? |
 |
| This is our first view of the Rock which is massive, although it's hard to tell from this vantage point. |
 |
| This is a little minor sight along the way called Indian Rock. If pointed out, you can see the profile of an Indian peering the the right. I missed it in the flesh, but here in the picture it is as clear as Ben said it was. |
 |
| Half decent picture of me so I couldn't resist. |
 |
| This is the rock from the beach in Perce. The house up there on the left looked spooky but we didn't learn what it is. Again, the scale is impossible to appreciate. What a wonderful world God has wrought! |
