gaspésie/europe

september was a special month for both of us. pieter went on tour in europe with his band, playing gigs in barcelona, london and the isle of wight. i did the "tour de la gaspésie" with my parents who were visiting. gaspésie is a peninsula at the far eastern end of the province of québec. we drove 2500 kilometers in 9 days! but it was well worth it: nature is incredibly beautiful over there.

our trip led us through métis-sur-mer, its gardens, and an unforgettable "auberge" packed with books everywhere; then to percé, the île de bonaventure and its very loud "fous de bassan" (birds); and a last stop in la malbaie where pieter joined us for a couple of days. so that's that then, i've seen the most beautiful region of québec...
