St Pierre and Miquelon


We see Canada
We see France
We see.....somebody's underpants
Not quite sure how to finish that. 
We are in France for the night. A one hour ferry ride from Fortune there are two little islands that belong to France. They are not obligated to speak English, even though the do. Had to get Euros and have our passport, went through customs, got our passport stamped. Due to the fact that we are flying by the seat of our pants we are only spending the night. We didn't realize that on a Sunday everything, and I mean everything is closed and the restaurants don't open for dinner till 7. No TV, no internet so I guess early to bed. We are catching the ferry back to Newfoundland at 1.30pm, there is only one sailing per day. Should have stayed a couple of days. Most things closed Mondays and what is open closes from 12pm to 1.30pm for lunch. We didn't see much except the post office, a bakery and the tourist office. We took a tour of the island which is very small and  there are 6000 people living here. If we had stayed longer we could have taken a look at the other island, but oh well.
