It’s been a long and difficult journey this year, but we’ve finally arrived. We won’t have internet access until tomorrow, but once we do I’ll share more photos and stories. For now, I’m still posting with my phone. This is the classic tourist photo of the Perce Rock, but it doesn’t really give any idea of scale. I know a better spot to take this photo, but there are so many tourists in town today that I just couldn’t get there.

Looks like a great thing for a ship to discover on a foggy night.
Sort of reminds me of Dun Aengus. Is there a fort on top?

Bloody hell, it is Percé, beautiful shot. Wait a minute, did I miss a day or you got from Montreal to Percé in one day?
Am I right in assuming the tide is in, in the photo?

What a wonderful sight.
No fort so far as I know, Marcus, it’s a very narrow rock (433 x 90m), not much space up top.
I remember at low tide walking out to the piercing, you can do that, but that’s a subconsciously freaky experience (tide does not wait!).
Ice Swimmer says
A gorgeous place. I’d guess there are birds nesting on the top of the rock.
