Canada 29 May: Riviere-du-Loup

Il est difficile de croire que la Course de l’harmonie mondiale parcours le Québec depuis six jours déjà.  C’est aujourd’hui le 29 mai 2012 notre septième et dernière journée pour le Québec.  C’est aussi aujourd’hui la première fois qu’il pleut.  C’est un matin pluvieux et froid à Rivière-du-Loup.
