My 2019 French ChallengeAZ in 100 Words—or More | P for Port-Royal

Today, it is all about contemplation.

The picture below was taken just outside the reconstructed Habitation of Port-Royal in Nova Scotia. I had just visited the historic site and had been very surprised to learn that my ancestor Louis Hébert had stayed there. I knew he was in Acadia before settling in Québec, but still, I had never imagined I would walk in his footsteps. When you are looking at a landscape where nothing was disturbed, you realize that you are seeing what your ancestors looked at every day, and how beautiful it was—and still is.
