Today we got a lazy start as we only had about a 40 mile drive. We were lolly gagging along when was came across this little shop just before Perce, pronounced “Per Se.” For sale were sailing ships all made of wood, including the sails! We all bought one! Thence onward we trudged with ever mounting fear of the dreaded HILL into Perce. This is just your basic 1 Km. hill with a 17% grade down ending in town. So down shift to first and off you go. No problems, really! Even Mary said it was no big deal…after the fact.
After lunch we drifted off for shopping and such in town. Well, Cathy and I had noticed this lapidary shop about 10 miles back up the road, so we went back there. Afterwards we stopped at Coin du Banc and walked the beach to make our fortune in agates. We all have a nice collection of pretty agates we found…OK maybe just rocks, but still pretty. Then back into town to another agate shop. The owner there explained the processes she uses to make jewelry. There are some very beautiful pieces to buy. Right now it is raining (showers), I am home alone writing this. They are out doing more shopping. Hopefully everything closes at 6 and I get dinner tonight! Ohhh! Some breaks in the clouds off to the west, maybe a campfire tonight. OK, now 6:30, nobody in sight, starvation setting in.............
