Douche la bouche!
(This just sounds funny and really only means wash your mouth - i.e.
). I don`t know if it really means ANYTHING coherent when its put together like that, but it`s enough to send me into a fit of giggles!
Aujourd`hui was a half day and we got home for lunch, where Athena and I had some leftovers from last night (sooo good, don`t think that they`re crappy leftovers, `cause they`re not). Gilles comes home for lunch every day so we had a chance to chat with him for the first time really. C`est dificile to talk to someone when they`re never home when you are (i.e. I go out at night time and he`s in bed early and out of the hosue by 6am - don`t worry mom, I`m quiet when I return and I`ve never woken the dog up). He`s pretty good with English for such an isolated town because he buys and sells rare car parts to people in the US, but both he and Sonya are good about not speaking English unless they absolutely have to.
After lunch Gilles drove me to the local café, where I met a bunch of classmates and I had a beautiful walk (although it was cold and slightly damp and very grey) through one of the paths of the , a park around a huge hydro-dam waterfall, that`s actually quite beautiful. We went along one of the shorter paths, but there are definitely some tougher paths, and one circuit which takes about 90 minutes to complete. My goal is to complete that circuit at least once. We started at the base of the waterfall and wandered around the large hill following the path until we came out right at the top and crossed a small metal walkway that went directly above the waterfall itself (like, right over the point at which the water begins to fall). It was sooo cool. I`m now home for the evening, will most likely have dinner in about an hour or so then head out to watch the hockey game tonight. I`m going to see if I can start uploading my photos to my MSN website, or if it`s going to crap out again like it did in China. Let me know if you`re reading this and can`t get onto my MSN page and I`ll see what I can do about photos when I get back.
Salût!
