A day trip to the beach. This sunny weather seems to have no end. We arrived at the hight of high tide, but as the water went out if unburried many things that we could only see hints of at the beginning. Like this pool, when we first saw it it was only some random…

I get some asian takeout and find a park to rest in shade for lunch and read some of the many numerous things I have for my litterature class. Soft grass and a wall that looks like it should be a castle. Perhaps it once was? Chopsticks in French are called baguettes. But in a…

Pharmacy across from the women’s prison. I wandered the area around the metro stop Jacques Cartier to try and find the thrift store near by. I arrived early, when they were still closed for the two hour french lunch time, and was hoping to find some other treasures in the area. But only found the…

So not all of yesterday was a bust. Before the drunken bloody Rue de la soif escapade happened I went by the mayor’s house for a speech to the study abroad students welcoming them to the city. The interior of the building was absolutely gorgeous, although this was to be expected since the exterior is…

I am so done with going out to the bars in a group. The 20 year old americans all ‘pregamed’ it too much that once they made it downtown they were already too drunk to figure out which bar they were going to. Then the Russian girl who came along, and attached herself to me,…
