As you read this I have already landed in Quebec and may have travelled as far as the border of Quebec and Ontario.
Yes, I have returned to the great land of Maple syrup.
The land of fabled characters like Bonne Homme de Neige and Justin Trudeau.
The land where I grew up and partied hard on St. Jean de Baptiste Day and largely ignored Canada Day.
The land where the letter H is strangely silent – until, of course it’s not called for.
The land where tout la gang parle Francais et Anglais, les deux langues du Canada!
Yes I am, as you read this, within an 1 1/2 hour drive of our nation’s capital where our nation’s leader Stephen Harper declared that occasionally he Twerks with Obama.
Relax…relax, he meant tweet – mon Dieu!
But just in case you are concerned, the word from the White House is that Obama does not twerk!
Too bad – I think that would be kinda awesome….
Speaking of twerking (nice segue eh?) My daughter posted the following picture on facebook the other day.
To which I promptly responded with a text to her.
To which she promptly responded “FACEBOOK!” and posted my text.
Well my friends as I re-visit the land that made me who I am today, I wish you peace and joy.
Know that even though I won’t be nosing around your posts for a week or so I will be thinking of you and missing you.
To end this post, let me leave you with the following video that (in all fun) pokes fun at Quebec.
A bientot mes amis!
