Le Grand Beach, views from morning hike
We stayed today at the same beautiful beach as we were at yesterday. It was a very nice warm day and we went or a walk first thing this morning about 8:30 am before it got too hot. We walked partway up the hill to the south of the campground, then back down and along the very white sandy beach that extends for at least twenty or thirty kilometres.
We read until lunch, then after that went to the ocean with our body board. The waves were not very big, but we managed to catch the odd one occasionally and get a bit of a ride. We then read some more in the shade behind our motorhome before going back to the ocean for a second round of surf later in the afternoon. It was very hot when the sun was out, but it clouded over somewhat in the afternoon.
Sunset at le Grand Beach
There was a nice sunset tonight. For us the sun seems to set so incredibly fast, unlike the long lingering sunsets we get in Saskatchewan. By 6:15 the sun was starting to set and the sky was bright orange, and by 6:30 almost black. By 7:00 the sky was pitch black, and very clear so that there is a small sliver of moon and the Southern Cross. Other constellations like Orion that we can also see in Canada are almost overhead but somewhat to the north.
