Percé to Sainte-Anne-des-Monts

Everything started off well yesterday. I was up early, had a good breakfast (not included in the room rate, "mais à ne pas manquer",

finished loading the and set off for the relatively short trip to Sainte-Anne-des Monts. 

While the highway on the Baie side of the Gaspé is relatively flat and straight, the same cannot be said of the same road on the stretch from Percé to where I am now. There are steep climbs and descents, and may curves, or at least enough to bring a smile on the face of serious motorcyclists. I can just see Pierre-Alain's as I write this. All of this would be perfect were it not for the weather; first a few drops as I arrive in Gaspé, and then, after I've put on the rainsuit, a steady rain all the way to Mont Louis. While I do not mind riding in the rain, I can't say it does much for the view. 

After lunch which consisted of a nice salad with tons of small shrimp and smoked salmon, and a small local ale, I continued to the Auberge Château Lamontagne where I had a fantastic dinner in a dining room full of customers, many of whom were local residents. Ici, comme ailleurs au Québec on ne mange pas pour vivre mais plutôt on vit pour manger. Not having an option, ;) I ordered a half bottle of Bourgogne Aligoté to accompany the delicious gratinéed coquille (really a soup plate full) of scallops, shrimp and salmon in a delicious white wine sauce. 

For dessert, something I do not usually indulge in, I had the creme brulée with small forestier cakes flavoured with curry.

I am beginning to think that I need to change the name of the blog. How does Meals on Wheels
