Rain continues to pour from the sky and storm surges still include 90km/h winds. Travel includes being able to roll with a change in plans. So, we hopped in the car and made a mini road trip to Percé Rock.
Fueled with pain au chocolat and cafe from the local boulangerie we braved our way to the top of the Percé rock lookout. Legend has it that the explorer Samuel Champlain named the rock in 1607 because it appeared “pierced”. Back then it had two arches, but now it only has one. Still, is easy to see why this massive rock is considered one of the natural wonders of the world. Do you know another thing rainy days are good for?—trying the local specialties. We found an eatery with a glassed in porch overlooking the rock. Its the Maritimes so Ray had to have the Guédille au Homard. I went for something just a little more Quebecois: Soupe de Poissons du Pêcheur avec Rouille, croûtons, et formage. This dish works a bit like IKEA furniture—you get all the pieces but you have to assemble it. You put the Rouille on the bread and float it in your soup. Then you sprinkle the cheese on top. The hot soup melts the cheese and you end up with all this delicious goodness. Your mission should you choose to accept it: Cheese and bread make almost any soup taste better. Toast a piece of bread until it is almost dried out. Heat up a can of soup—you choose the flavour. You probably don’t have rouille hanging around but float the bread on top of your bowl of soup and sprinkle it with grated cheese. I promise it will be yummy. Email me a picture & I’ll post it. Stay Safe. You are Always in my Prayers. Love Mom.

Bonjour! La premiere question c'est un sur les homards. "How did they figure out that lobsters pee to communicate?" Je ne veux pas essayer ce question en francais. Je pense que l'homme etait vraiment proche de l'ours. C'est un bon photo! Nous pensons que les homards bleus sont vraiment rares - seulement un de deux million - c'est tres interresant de le vu! Merci!

I will answer the pee question in English too! I think the researchers must have watched the lobsters for a long time to figure it out….maybe get peed on by a lobster a few times!
