Pictures of Ste Flavie

Ste Flavie, Gateway to the Gaspésie, was the last overnight stopping place on our flight home from Lourdes-de-Blanc-Sablon and Labrador; in fact we didn't find it easy to tear ourselves away from the water's edge and ended up spending two nights at La Gaspésiana. As it says on their website, "Come and sleep to the sea's murmurs." The sunsets at supper time were worth experiencing, too.

I already blogged about this place both when we arrived there and in the subsequent post, so all I intend to add today is photographs of Chris enjoying these surroundings and of Marcel Gagnon's sculpture. The last picture is a painting by his son, Guillaume (who talked to us, as did Marcel), posted on a board next to the pier, which looked greyer and more deserted than in his memory or imagination that morning, just before we set off to Mont Joli airport for our flight to Trois-Rivières.

My story of our nine day flying trip is now as complete as can be. If you want to read it in chronological order, start here, and on reaching the end of the page, click Newer Post to read another episode.
