We have returned to Saguenay, a pretty little town at the navigable end of a spectacular large fjord.
About 7:30 this morning we turned to starboard and entered into Saguenay Fjord.
As is often the case we were saluted by the spouts of many whales who feed and breed at the confluence of the St. Lawrence River and the Saguenay.
About 10 in the morning we passed abeam of Notre-Dame-du-Saguenay, the famed 19th century statue of the Virgin Mary that is atop one of the ridges of the Fjord. I have discussed Notre Dame in previous blog entries about Saguenay.
Here in the town, we were greeted with a superb autumn day. A strong sun more than made up for the chill in the air.
On the pier we were met by local performers, some of whom participate in a summertime theatrical presentation about the region.
We also went for a walk to Saint Alphonse Church, a place beautifully framed by the autumn leaves and decorated within both with the icons of the Catholic Church as well as the symbols of Halloween.
