787 July 28, 2022 Rimouski

One last morning walk to Parc de la Pointe. 

Right across from the RV park, there was this Christmas shop…we didn’t go!

We left to travel further north and east to Rimouski.  It was a very pretty ride.

We looked on All Stays to find a place to camp.  We found the Pointe-au-Pere wharf where you can camp for free.  We were not sure what to expect but this was really a great place to stay right on the Saint Lawrence River. 

We walked down to look at the submarine.

We took pictures of the lighthouse.

The Museum of the Empress of Ireland, a ship that wrecked nearby in 1914. 

We walked down on the rocks to the water’s edge.

We took the Jeep and our bikes into town.  We parked at the grocery store and cycled on the bike path along the seawall.

We went into the store and found duck liver pate, lobster mousse, and marinated mussels.  We also got some raisin nut bread and some “real” strawberries and for our dinner, we had a “taste of Canada”…bon appetit!

The weather forecast for later calls for thunderstorms.  The wind has picked up and there are some whitecaps on the water.  We shall see what the night brings.

There are 27 other RVs here with us on the wharf. For a while, there was a lot of car traffic. We heard that the locals ride down to look at the rigs parked here overnight.
