Family

Hello!

We are currently at the Cegep which is like a pre-university school, where people are between the ages of 17-19. I will be talking about last night and the meeting with our family. 

I was housed together with Laura, at a lovely family - the mother was the guidance counsellor, and the father was retired professor, they had all in all 6 children, but many of them were grown up and had left the nest. Remaining was however Maï Li, their 17 year old daughter. 
After we left Cabane a sucre Laura and I went grocery shopping with the family. Halloween, a holiday not even celebrated really in Quebec, was everywhere! Candy, stuff to dress up in, decorations, and the entire shop was so orange I though I was inside a pumpkin. 
We went home where we played table tennis, heard the girl play piano so well (!), found our respective addresses on Google Earth and watched some ridiculous synchronized TV. They also had a dog which Laura fell for instantly. Later they showed us their huge fountain in the middle of the garden.. little funny. 
They asked us were we wanted to sleep and we had each our room, but we slept both in the one with the TV and looked at pictures. 

We got up in the morning still completely beat from yesterday and they had made the nicest spread for us, Vietnamese breakfast, Danish, toasted bread, peanutbutter (yuk..) and fresh orange juice. As we looked out and the garden was lit up, we saw that they had Parc Sept Chutes (The park of the seven waterfalls) in their backyard and that the frost had taken its first toll on the grass, but with the sunny weather, how could one not love this morning. 

We left with the mother for the Cegep where we met our other classmates who had all had different and fun experiences to share of their own. They took us for a tour of the school and we stopped at an IT-room and here I am! (and sooooo tired.. don't tell my teachers! Shh!)

Till next time, probably tonight
