T Stands for More of Quebec- Part 5

     Hi everyone. It's time for T again over at Bleubeard's and Elizabeth's blog . Once again I'm taking you back to my trip to the Gapse Peninsula of Quebec in late September. Some of you mentioned a saying about gannets last week. I’ve never heard the saying "someone eats like a  gannet".  It's always fun to learn new phrases so to those of you who mentioned it,  thanks for sharing it with me. 👍

  I included this map as my first photo because today we're driving along the shore and not in any one particular spot. Just so you can see where we are, we're driving along the purple segment (Upper Gaspé) of the map.

     The weather wasn't super that day, with clouds, fog and even a bit of scattered rain. Our first stop was this light house. I was excited because once we walked down from the parking area  I discovered it was an original Marconi station. During the trip I was reading Thunderstruck by Eric Lawson,  which is a book about  Guglielmo Marconi and the story of the wireless telegraph system he (along with a few others) created. This all led to the radio transmissions as we know them today.

You can see the low clouds that were hanging along the shoreline.

We drove up and down a lot of hills, many with some fairly steep grades

and even areas with common rock falls. (These photos are a slight bit fuzzy since I snapped them while we were driving.)

     One section of the road that went on for about 70 km (about 44 miles) was beautiful as the road was sandwiched between cliffs on one side and the ocean on the other.

At times the road turned inland towards the mountains for a short spell. You can't see the water, but there was a small harbor on the right.

Here's another lighthouse we passed and stopped at.

     Then we arrived in St. Anne des Monts which was a small city. It wasn't too far beyond that city where we came to our cabin for the next couple of nights.

     This was a  great place to stay because  behind our cabin was a walking trail, and it also was directly across the road from a beach. This next picture is NOT the beach but a view from behind the cabin. (I'll share the beach next Monday.)

And here’s the trail. 

Plus it was a really comfy place to stay for a couple of nights.

      You can see it was  chilly one of our nights  so we even had a little woodstove fire going. And can you see my bottle of diet coke as one of my T day tickets?

     Next door was a great little restaurant also. My other T day drink photos are from the night we had dinner there. My husband and I each had a different microbrew. This not so clear photo was his.

And here's mine.

       And sorry to make anyone hungry, but the restaurant had this lobster panini sandwich on the menu.  It came with fries and this delicious green salad.  Since lobsters are also a local specialty in this area of Quebec, and since many of you probably know how I like a lobster  sandwich, it's what I had for dinner that night. 😏👍❤

     The next evening, after a day of walking, we had dinner in our cabin, but I will save that for next week's T. Have a great T day and week ahead everyone.
