Day 7 - Travel Day to Cap-aux-Os, Gaspe, Quebec

Our travel day ranged from pouring rain, to fog rolling in and out, to peeks of sunshine, with temperatures fluctuating from 43 to 61 degrees, sometimes changing 6 or 7 degrees within several miles.  Our route took us along the St. Lawrence River and the Gulf of St. Lawrence, uphill and down and a ribbon of curves through the many well-kept villages scattered here and there along the water.

A high note:  A visit to the Eole windmill farm where we were shown the world’s largest vertical wind turbine with a fine explanation of the manner in which it functioned.












Despite the less than cooperative weather we managed to get several good pictures, one of which was the unusual striations on the sheer rock outcroppings rising 50 or 60 feet above the highway that bordered the St. Lawrence.  





While the weather was less than perfect, it was a good day taking in the sights of a new area of creation.
