I arrived in Trois Rivieres today, and went for a walk downtown with some new friends. Here's a cute little lighthouse on the St. Lawrence River.

Riopelle
Friday 28 June 2013
As it was pouring rain all day, I thought it might be a good museum day. Unfortunately, so did everyone else.
Here is a tiny bit of a piece by an amazing Quebecois painter, Jean-Paul Riopelle.

Pierre's tomb
Thursday 27 June 2013
True to tradition, I figured that while in a new city, I should check out the graveyard. This is the Notre Dame des Neiges graveyard, and this is the French-est tomb I found. Not only is his name Pierre, he chose a French inscription and has Quebec flags planted out front.

Back with baguettes
Wednesday 26 June 2013
Well, since I'm off on an exciting trip, I thought I might start up the blog again.
I'm currently in Montreal, Quebec. I'll be in Quebec (soon in the smaller city of Trois Rivieres, and you'll have to bear with me as I haven't figured out accents on this computer yet) for six weeks, doing an intensive French immersion program. I'll be learning French as well as how to someday teach core French in elementary school.
So, for my first day, here are some baguettes!

Pictograph
Tuesday 14 August 2012
We all went on a hike today, and saw this pictograph. It's rather faint, but you can just make out the human figure holding a circle.

We went on a little car trip around Canmore today. Here's our friend Rob and his daughter M, by a neat glacial stream.

Gordon's New and Used
Saturday 11 August 2012
Saw this store on the way from Kelowna to Canmore. A whole room of used hubcaps. And you can quite see it, but under the "Gordon's New + Used Hubcaps," there's another sign that says "and daughters."

Bannock
Friday 9 August 2012
This is one version of bannock, an aboriginal food of Canada. This one is deep fried, which of course is awesome.

The girls' dressing room. Tonight was my last night at Rent. I'll miss it so much.

Rainbow crossing
Friday 3 August 2012
This weekend is Pride, so they've done up the crosswalks in our neighborhood. It makes the street look so cheery!
