A very happy 2008 to all of you! Bonne année, frohes neues Jahr, feliz ano nuevo ...
I am back on my university mountain and was stuck again the other day... well, at times you should not leave after 9pm as it seems. Well, they cleared the roads and after midnight we were back here. And the snow here was nothing compared to Québec, it was amazing. A real Canadian winter, although I was told from reliable sources that -23°C can well be topped by Alberta, the Prairies and not to speak of the Northern Territories... I don't necessarily wanna experience that though. ;-)
Okay, here we go. Expect a lot of pix again from that lovely Canadian area:
open weather in BC
up, up in the sky
the cold Prairies
sundown
I visited my housemate Valérie and her family and friends. They were wonderful hosts. Merci beaucoup! And I had the opportunity to practise some French as some did not speak a lot of English. Well, if you have to, you can... :-)
apéritif for New Year's dinner
great food to follow
playing cards
with Val
Next day we went off to Québec City, which is quite a way from Montréal (around 300 km). Well, it's still Canada although it appeared so French.

The city:
strange place to find him...
brrr...
yeah, it is really Canada
hard to believe at times
Château Frontenac
Saint-Laurent river, that looks like hiver, I mean winter, right? ;-)
très, très froid! For sure.
I will go on tomorrow with more pix from Montréal and lots and lots of neige, snow.
Good night for now! Je me couche, bonne nuit!
