... très cute.
Nous mangeons toujours très bien mais je commence de plus en plus à rêver d'un repas de sushi. Ma dose (parfois deux) hebdomadaire me manque.
Je vous écris de l'hôtel d'en face avec un clavier AZERTY (versus QWERTY, comme chez nous) alors ça me prend beaucoup de temps. Je n'ai pas vraiment le temps de voir tous vos messages et encore moins d'y répondre, je m'en excuse. Mais je me rattraperai à mon retour.
Demain, nous partons pour le lac ...
