- la brume/fog (romantique as élégante Mme. Santerre describes)
- ma petite chambre chez Mme. Santerre http://www.aux1000souvenirs.ca
- 3 meals/day chez Linda, Dave, their 3 children - Alex, Karolyn and bébé Megan - and 6-8 other femmes
- dessert for lunch and dinner (impossible to refuse)
- white bread, bologne and processed cheese sandwiches (impolite to refuse)
- yoga en français (inspiration... expiration... ah, bon!)
- hiking 20 km on the Sentier National
- Le Jardin de Metis http://www.refordgardens.com
- la parade de mode - modeling, on stage, the latest fashion for a Superhero Cowboy - chaps, vest, and whip made of green plastic garbage bags (can anybody beat that for fun?)
- conversing/group work (yes, more group work) with 17 year old girls
- school pictures - and just like in elementary, as the smallest person, I am still positioned on the front bench, at the end
- little earthquakes in my bed... when the train rumbled thru town
- viscious Québecois mosquitos!
- beaucoup de café et conversation au Café L'Essential
- live musique - traditionnelle sur la rue, jazz dans l'auditorium, classique à l'église
- driving the Gaspésie route and seeing Roche Percé
- traversing the Saint Lawrence (1.5 hrs/way by ferry) - unfortunately no baleines/whales were sighted, but I think I saw a couple phoques/seals
- seakayaking at sunset
- the fantastic satisfaction found in communicating in another language
All that and more, in just 5 weeks. C'est une bonne expérience.
À bientôt.
