Yesterday Véronique invited us for a bike trip to the south shore. Dan had found a map of cyclotourisme for the south shore region and we picked out a relatively short route to do (60 km - the longest ones were over 100 km!). Véronique came and picked us up at Vendôme metro and we » Read More

We’ve been slacking off having fun rather than packing yesterday. Dan did an amazing job of fixing up our bikes this week so we would be ready for the mini bike trip this weekend. After being locked out on the “balcony” for 2 years in the snow and rain, I was amazed the locks even » Read More
