A short trip to New Brunswick
Vers la fin de juillet, alors que nos rénovations s'achèvent, nous partons pour une courte escapade au Nouveau Brunswick,
en passant par le Bas-Saint-Laurent, où Lise a ses racines.
Malheureusement, la météo n'était pas de notre côté, mais ce fut tout de même très agréable.

Despite the not so good weather, it's been a very pleasant trip.
