Day 21 Saturday, June 18th – Havre-Saint-Pierre
We were blessed with yet another day of sunshine and clear
blue skies. Yea!
The first order of business was to change our accommodations
if we were going to spend another two nights in this town. The Hotel du Havre was noisy, hot, and the
free breakfast was pretty bleak. We were
fortunate enough to secure a room in a private cabin at Gite Lamare, just a few
miles out of town. Wonderful! Breakfast was lovely, the room was
practically brand new and the view was - well see for yourself!
We spent the day strolling along the marina which happened to also have a public laundry facility that we took advantage
of. It was nice to just kick back and
enjoy the town.

 |
| All along the beaches you see these pretty beach peas - members of the sweet pea family |
 |
| I liked the symmetry of this dandelion against the gray rock |
 |
| This fellow looked like he was right out of a Tim Burton movie. The gulls feast on crab near the marina, and leave the remnants of their meals on the walkway. |
 |
| We were enchanted by this group of eider ducks - a momma and 27 babies! We were told that mother eiders will take on the young of others when something happens to their mothers. So this group may well be made up of several clutches. |
 |
| We could see this from the marina's pavillion where we ate lunches. Being from New England, and familiar with the-man-formerly-known-as The Old Man of the Mountain, we dubbed her the Old Lady of the Mountain. See her fancy bonnett? |
That
evening we enjoyed the beach in front of Gite Lamare before heading to bed.
