Our new place is quite wonderful, located on Beaver Lake just outside the town of Meteghan River. The kids (led by Nicolai) opted for another round of golf while Jeanine and I did a little touring in the area.

We visited the lighthouse in Gilbert’s Cove and Église Sainte-Marie, a Catholic church in Church Point, the largest and tallest wooden building in North America. The church is exposed to the strong winds from St. Mary’s Bay, so 40 tons of stone ballast were used to stabilize the steeple, and canvas, rather than plaster, was used for the walls.
