Driving pt 2

More photos as promised. Waiting for the cyclists, we parked at a lighthouse (after getting some ice cream; ice cream and cheese are in abundance in Gaspe) and spent some time taking photos. I found some neat rocks with the water crashing in, and there was a steady stream of sea birds making a run for Cap Gaspe (a large cliff point where sea birds hang out) so there were plenty of things to keep me occupied.

Just a Gull, but they are much more majestic and less anoying by the ocean than in McDonalds parking lots.

And finally, human photos. Erin rounds the corner. Welcome to Cap du Rossiers.

Lisa heading down a hill, dont be deceived by these photos, these girls were going faster than 70 km/hr down these hills. Shortly after this photo was taken Lisa hit a pothole (at 83.6km/hr) and cracked a rim; leading to a nice little non-cycling morning the next day, and an opportunity to get more photos, look forward to those tomorrow!
