I've heard colleagues and came across some brochures talking about "the cottage" experience in Canada. After 3 years in Canada, me and the misus finally had the opportunity to enjoy this very Canadian getaway. Thanks to our good friends, the Lauzon Family for inviting us to their cottage last Saturday, it was indeed truly very relaxing and enjoyable experience. Work related stress was completely forgotten, although not much to think about when it comes to "the work" itself. But for some people, severe pressure is more on trying to cope with their superior who has no sense of professionalism, which could potentially be mind damaging...hmmm...something to write about soon...
Anyway, back to our cottage experience, we spent the whole Saturday just hanging around, eating, chit-chatting, boat riding, swimming and canoeing. I didn't swim and canoe, but enjoyed my lazing around moment at the deck by the lake - the moment when Montecristo was my best friend. The misus enjoyed swimming in the lake, although she was just literally dipping at one corner - her paranoia on big pikes might bite....
Overall, we had great fun and planning to do it again but, this time to spend the whole weekend at a different cottage, some place where there are golf courses nearby...
