Aujourd'hui, nous sommes alles a Quebec, et je suis super hereuse d'etre ici! C'est un reve realise! Just kidding.
Today, we went to Quebec, and I'm very happy to be here. It's a dream come true!
We left our cozy little motel in Ellesworth and headed up north and...west. We've made the turn towards home, not an end to touring, but a turn towards Montana. We drove for hours through many small rural towns, and finally arrived at the boarder. There, we were sternly questioned multiple times, and even had to pull over while our camper was searched, but we were of course allowed in.
Actually, it was more driving after that. But all the signs were in French, and I could read them! It maybe wasn't as good for everyone else, but I was, and still am, in heaven.
The real test came when we had get a hotel room. I talked to the concierges in French, and they were very courteous, and it was very positive. We had dinner at an Italian restaurant, more French, and are now in our hotel trying to find not-French TV to watch. Tomorrow, we'll see old Quebec and whatever else there is, and I'm so excited I could pop. A Demain!

Oh WOW! I am so happy for you! French French French. It's like if I went to Mexico or some other spanish speaking country. I feel your joy!!!!! Speaking of Quebec... we went to the highland games a couple weeks ago and there was a band there from Quebec. Le Vent Du Nord. They were really funny and cool, and ALL French songs! They have a website if you want to look 'em up, but I can't remember it right now. :0 That's it for now. Enjoy your little piece of heaven!!
Um....Can't say that I share the French joy you are feeling. Wasn't it you that told me that people in Quebec don't even speak real French? Maybe that was someone else.. I hope you are enjoying yourself.
Um, they have a bit of a lingo of their own, with slang and what not, but it's French all right.
