MEETING WITH THE QUEBECOIS

MEETING WITH THE QUEBECOIS
Today we needed to wake up early because we had to meet with a teacher from a Lycee Quebecois. Her name was Linda, she had made a tour through the Quebec arear. First we saw the l`Eglise Saint George, which is the local catholic church, our guide at l'eglise was sweet, he reminded me of an old sweet grandpa. It was very beautiful and the guide wanted us to write in their guest book. During the car ride, we had the most beautiful view. You could only hear the cameras say click, click. ;)

 We ate lunch at a ecological resturant, which sells the local farmers vegetable. But they also had a resturant. I ate a pumkin soup, then I ate a veggie lasagna, I even ate the salat because the food was so good. For dessert I got a apple crumble cake with Sirop d'Erable, it was so good I tipped them 5CAD. After the lunch a local farmer came and told us about what they do and how the cooperation goes between the local farmers and the resturant. They even have a  little store where they sell the local farmers products. The local former who told us about the cooperation was also the la Presidente.

 After the lunch break our guide was taking us to see a farm where they produced appples. We went for a little walk were we plucked apples. The apples were so beautiful, they looked like they were from a painting. The apples tasted as good as they looked. We met a cat at the farm, it was so sweeet, me and some classmates became friends with this cat. This chat made me regrette mon chat, the cat's fur was doux.

We moved on to see a brigde in a park, I noticed that the bicycle track was dived in two so the bicycles only could drive in one direction. Later on we went to a restaurant were we meet our host families, which were teachers at Cegep Beauce-Appalaches, which is a lycee in the little ville St-Georges. When we arrived, we said hallo to the other teachers, and afterwards we went for a ride through the woods in a horse carriage. When we came back one of the teachers had planned a relay for us, we were divided into two teams - mixed of cause. In the relay we were supposed to put on gloves, a funny hat, afterwards we should run to a tree stump, which had a nail, that you should but you only got one hit in every turn! So this was a very difficult game!;) we lost unfortunately! After the relay we went into the restuarant for dinner. 

I'm very picky when it comes to food, and of cause I didn't like most of the food, but I did taste eggs with maple syrup, which had a very interesting taste but i kind of liked it. And along came the dessert which were three dishes; First we got crêpe with sirup d'erable, then came the maple syrup butter, very sweet. At last came maple syrup on ice - I thought it couldn't get any sweeter but this was beyond every expectation.  

A round 9 pm me and Mathilde went home to our host. Our host was the french teacher Christine. We had brought gifts to our host, I brought some sucreries danoises and a book about Copenhagen, While Mathilde brought reglisse which were very salee, but Christine liked it. Afterwards me and Mathilde went to bed.
