My wife and I met up with Julie and Eric at St. Anselme Rotary Park in Dieppe just before sunset, hoping for the best - and that's exactly what we got! The mosquitos may have been relentless (I spent some time removing the bug clouds from the photos), and the air surprisingly brisk, but the sun and the trees, and of course, the Julie and Eric, were just fantastic.

At the risk of making it all seem too easy, everyone had a great time, and before we knew it, we were packing up the gear, wiping goose poop off our shoes, and heading home again.
