La Rocher Perce

In the town of Perce, actually, there's an acute accent on the final e, so it's pear-say, but I don't want to look up how to do that in HTML, there is a rock with a landbridge. There used to be two, but one fell down in 1857. We were looking forward to seeing these rocks. They are sandstone which have been carved away by the ocean, very similar to the twelve apostles that we saw on the Australia trip.

But the clouds came in and here's what the rock looks like in the fog. See the hole in the rock? See the rock? It's past the pier. The hole is near the right side. There's a smaller rock to its right.


It was foggy the day we got there and until we left. We spent half the morning walking the boardwalk - fabulous boardwalk with benches here and there - but the fog didn't lift until we left. Here are the benches.


And the boardwalk. That seagull flew down and caught a fish just after I took this picture.


On the pier, there was a place to eviscerate your mackerel.


And boats to take you to the island offshore, which was also shrouded in fog.


The island is called Bonaventure, and is full of hiking trails. We would have gone over if we had had more time. Instead, we failed to find a cache at the end of the boardwalk, sat on another bench, and shopped.


As we were leaving town, the fog lifted momentarily, and we got our view of La Rocher Perce.


The Island of Adventure was still fogged in.
