Two days ago I was supposed to be picked up from the hostel by my host mom, but she never showed up. I guess she thought I was coming next week or something- either way this program is so disorganized. So I ended up having to go to this other lady's house for this week and it really sucks. The women is so nice and knows enough English that I can survive, but only talks to me in French unless I really need help. The food here is so bad tho that I can't eat it. My temporary host mom is the manager of a cafeteria in an old folks home and I swear that's the kinda shit she is trying to feed me. I told her I was a vegetarian and she said "we ... read more

Hi all, We are in beautiful Quebec city but the weather is not so beautiful. Still we are getting out and about and enjoying what we can. We got here yesterday afternoon and did some wandering about. We were fortunate to get a B&B for the night - we got a cancellation! Anyways it is very eclectic shall we say. Paul took some pics so we'll post them later. Very nice though. Anyways, sorry it is so short but we are about to head out and enjoy some of the sights - and hopefully stay somewhat dry. All for now. LPS... read more

Enfin les grandes vacances! C'est le temps pour moi de reprendre la route et je dois dire que je suis assez fébrile... Je poursuivrai donc cet été mon périple américain en explorant la côte Atlantique jusqu'aux Keys de Floride, puis je longerai le golfe du Mexique jusqu'à la Nouvelle-Orléans pour remonter ensuite le Mississippi jusqu'à Memphis et Nashville. J'escaladerai en fin les plus hauts sommets des Appalaches dans les Great Smokey Mountains pour revenir au Québec quelque part en août. Un de mes objectifs et de rencontrer le plus de gens possible pour me faire une idée la plus juste possible de l'américain moyen sur des sujets aussi variés que la politique, l'environnement, la crise de l'énergie, les relations raciales, l'Irak, les valeurs religieuses, la survivance Cajun, la perception du Canada et j'en passe. Je collabore ... read more

Et voilà c'est parti!!! Charles Il ne reste que quelque temps avant de se séparer et d'aller vers des continent bien différent. Un océan et des milliers de kilomètres vont nous séparer!! J'ai passé commencer un petit blog pour toujours pouvoir nous rapprocher. Je sais le temps et les distances peuvent nous faner, mais ce n'est que si moi de désespoir et de solitude, que nous allons bientot affronter. Ici on va toujours pouvoir ce voir, même si c pas comme en vrai, c'est toujours une petite partie de moi ou de toi qui sera si facile à attraper au passage. En ces 7 mois de vie commune, la déchirure va être dure... Mais je ne t'oublierais jamais... C'est pas un petit océan qui va nous arrêter j'espère!!! Voilà pour le moment, CHarles Rouleau... read more

If Underwear Were Food, Then Long Underwear Would Be Manna From Heaven Yep, there’s something to be said for a catchy title. Seems that the catchy titles are the ones that get people reading, and frankly, that’s why I write these blogs - so that you will read. So read on world, read on!! Restlessness had finally set in. It was only a matter of time before Kel could no longer handle the day to day grind. I sat back watching the travel itch grow in her knowing that, at some point, she would either plan a trip for us (she’s the travel agent in the family) or she would explode. Hoping on the former, I was relieved when she called me with destination ideas for a quick trip. She never gives just one idea, ... read more
