      Ace video, who would have thought that fishing ports could be so scenic? I love all seafood but my fave is cod n chips from the Maypole chippie in Otley back in England.

    Eileen, please nerd away! I LOVE the history of things, too, and if I can't be there (yet), I really appreciate all the information that you and Marc impart. I find myself adding Gaspe to my list of got-to-visit destinations, thanks to your awesome videos!

      Thanks, Linda! Yasss! I know you share my love for history! 🙌 This site really took me by surprise and there was so much to learn. Just incredible how every part of the process was done from scratch and how it all pulled together. Too bad they overfished the cod so much 🤪 I think you would love a Gaspé road trip!

    Oh this trip just gets better and better! Such a cute lighthouse at Carleton-sur-mer! (and another one later on!) Nice that the sun appeared for you guys too. Such incredible history all over, my gosh. Hmm might wanna keep Marc away from those milkshakes LOL! I was cracking up!! Sensational views at the end. Those colours are phenomenal. Yes, I like some seafood. Salmon is my fav. I'm ok with shrimp. Recently tried crabcakes and liked. Never ate anything in a teacup for sure! :)

    • @EileenAldis
      @EileenAldis  2 роки тому

      haha well I can confirm that eating in a teacup is quite fun! Too bad they didn't turn like the ones at Disneyland ;) Although that wouldn't work too well for digestion....😂I knew you'd appreciate the cute lighthouse! It's a very cheerful one, I think. And, yes, Marc clearly loved the milkshake haha. The strawberries were so nice and fresh. Reminds me of summer in a cup. I would probably say salmon is also my favourite seafood. It's the one I eat most often.

    One of your's & Marc's videos I hadn't watched yet. So here goes.; I totally loved the scene of you both running & playing around the giant strawberry sculpture/thing..too funny. Yes, You both totally should have gotten at least 2 strawberry milkshakes for both of you, if not a third for sharing afterward, for how incredibly good that one must have been, absolutely fresh strawberries used for them. The totally fascinating history on the wooden fishing boats and the square nails was really interesting. Those boats are such works of art & science & hardwork by those carpenters for the fishermen. So amazingly ingenious woodworking, with the particular characteristics of the different types of wood used & how to best utilize the qualities of each one. Super cool. Ps, I also loved that wooden cup seating area outdoors, enjoying the outdoors in that beautiful weather that day. It looks like you had the completely perfect day for your sightseeing & then having lunch/dinner at that seafood restaurant, overlooking the water & that gorgeous view for scenery.

    I had totally forgotten the 'sauce as the best vehicle for bringing out the flavors in the food' thoughts,.. something that popped up now & then back in your euro-adventures way back. So true. That food really did look & sound totally amazing & absolutely delicious. Family-run restaurants are nearly always the best, and well-worth the wait that you had to go through, to get into there, and taste the food.

    Excellent as always, a really pretty place to visit. The seafood in the restaurant looked amazing, everything looked delicious. I like most seafood, but love mussels, clams and prawns. Enjoyed lobster on rare occasions when I ate it. Love you guys enthusiasm for speaking French. I was kind of rusty when I visited Quebec back in the day. Would be better now.

      Hey Shaun! It's nice to have the opportunity to speak French.

It just adds to the charm of the place. And the VIEW of the water and Percé Rock was worth it alone.

I grew up in New Richmond, (not far from the Strawberry farm lol) and now live north of Toronto where my sons were raised. My grandsons plan to move to the Gaspe when they finish university in BC. If you have not visited Montmorency Falls, just outside Quebec City you may experience this. There is a small town called ste. Flavie in the area that is full of artists and artisans. Another unique place I have lived in northern Quebec is Chisassibi ( a Cree village) filled with Canadian history. It was formerly known as Fort George and was only accessible by plane at one time.
