Montreal and Gaspesie

Long flight to Montreal via Santiago de Chile and Toronto. Met by Andree, Danielle’s sister, and went straight into a family reunion.

Then hired a car for a rapid, four-day, 2,400km circuit of the Gaspe Peninsula. Stopped for lunch at L’Auberge de Portage on the Fleuve St Laurent (where we had stopped 11 years ago as we headed up to Labrador at the beginning of our journey through the Americas).
