Friday Sept 5. Left Sainte-Luce after a very artisitic breakfast at the B&B. First stop was Centre d'art Marcel Gagon. Lynley was very impressed with the art work and poetry, especially the 80+ figures emerging from the St Lawrence (photo included here). Brought some of his work. Carried on to Matane, where we visited the fish ladder and observed some Atlantic Salmon making thier way upstream o spawn. Unlike the Pacific salmon, they don't die, but will return one or more times to spawn before they die. Had lunch from a roadside stall (similar to Tahitit, but no hot hamburger this time. Then we drove east, stopping a few time to see if we could see the Northern shore of the St. Lawrence, but couldn't. Saw one or two big freighters on the St. Lawrence. Around 5pm I had had enough driving so stopped at Riviere-au-Renard. It is a major fishing port, not very scenic. Had dinner at the hotel/motel. Then watched a little TV and read.
In the afternoon we began to see the effects of tropical storm Hanna. Cold wind blowing in of the St Lawrence and a little rain. The weather forcast isn't too hot for this weekend. All the news is about Huricane Ike and the Republican convention.
That's all folks
