    Spent the weekend with Renée in Fredericton. We went to the market, watched her basketball game, played some disc golf, visited the art gallery, fine food and great conversations.

    Monday we were off again back on the Acadian Peninsula. There are many smaller towns, all very nice and friendly. Isabelle had fun chatting with everyone and enjoying their Acadian accents.
