We started breakfast at Brûlery d'Ici in Rimouski. Margaret was in need for a coffee to get started and this was the right breakfast place. Afterwards we walked through the whole downtown of Rimouski and before we ran out of ideas we got more pointers in the local tourist office. The water front and the downtown of Rimouski are worthwhile a visit. We had lunch at Le Crepe Chignon. This place can be recommended as well. It is still as good as 7 or so years ago when I visited Rimouski with Gongyu and Daniella. Other places we visited were Poissonnerie Ste-Odile, Poissonnerie Gagnon (this was the best poissonerie we have visited on this trip), and Fromage en Tete right in the downtown in the market hall. It was difficult to scale down the quantities of the various smoked fish items :-). Actually resistance was futile. We bought a decent amount.
In the afternoon we returned to Ferme Rioux. Margaret wanted to complete the whole trail from Cap a l'Orignal towards Fourche-a-Louison and return via LeScoggan (basically completing the Le-Grand-Tour). I happily declined this opportunity and had a seat in the Ferme Rioux visitor center and started to work on a handful of blog posts. I also had a good look at the artist pictures on offer in the Visitor center and ended up buying one. Margaret happily completed Le-Grand-Tour just before sundown (again using the low tide window) and I managed to post a few blogs. After Margaret came back from the trail we visited Bay-du-Haha! and watched the remainder of the sundown. Then it was time for us to return to the campsite.
Sometime in the night we both woke up because a train nearby blew its horn every minute or so. Also, plenty of truck braking was happening relatively close to our campsite. But the train horn was distinctive enough to wake us up.
