GASPESIE QC-2

DSC01418 DSC01420  We are following the waters edge on Hwy 132 and it’s beauty is endless. Small towns, not much population. Besides the views, we came across such interesting things as the tallest vertical axis windmill in the world(110 meters)and of course international signs that meant What?    DSC01508DSC01512DSC01521DSC01525This is Forillon National Park of Canada which is located at the very end of Quebec. It had some very nice hikes, which unfortunately I(Diane) am unable to do at this time. But we enjoyed the entertaining docents at Hyman’s company general store that was restored to its 1918 appearance.

This young man in the picture could have been on a stage, he was so enthusiastic and so very excited to practice his English.  The other picture is Anse-Blanchette’s family homestead

also but not shown is a barn/stable, fish shed, woodshed, fish stage used to produce salt dried fish. It is a hundred year old house decorated as it was in the 1920’s. The same family lived in it until the 1970’s when the park took it over.
