Wind in our faces until Matane – UGH! Rewarded my perseverance with a trip to subway. Ordering all those vegetables in French was daunting, but I survived and even more important, the sub was tasty.

After the wind stopped, the hills began – or perhaps the hills were breaking the wind?

We had a tasty, tasty, TASTY, seafood dinner at the one restaurant in town. We had been dreaming of seafood ever since the East Coast started to seem like a realty, and tonight it felt like we were almost there.

It was dark and starting to rain when we left to make camp – so our decision was hasty and not nearly as good as usual – we were visible from the main road, but did not care. We did however get a fright when a bright light shone through the fabric – were we about to be kicked out??? Alex peered out and caught sight of our disturber – a lamp post that just turned on for the night!!!
