One of my favourite comedians said recently; "Americans who travel abroad for the first time are often shocked to discover that, despite all the progress that has been made in the last 30 years, many foreign people still speak foreign languages." Yet after the past month I am proud to say my opinion about our relatives over the pond has seriously changed. Our trip round the States was AMAZING, in fact the last year has been like the most amazing year ever and better than we ever expected when we moved to Quebec last August. (In fact I'd even go as far as to use the adjective sentational....Jen, Cat, Nicole that one's for you.)
Home.....England.....I suppose rain is OK, my mum nearly almost has a jam packed fridge of nice food that Canada just doesn't have (ie good bacon and semi skimmed milk) ohh and I can jay walk like there is no tomorrow with zero fear of a $50 fine. And an additional plus, I manged to make it back with 60 kilos of luggage when my allocated weight was only 20 (lets just say this smile gets you anywhere, including a free upgrade onto an earlier British Airways flight back to your rents).
I miss Canada lots, I miss Jen (already haha), and HEChange, and Jean Talon Market and poutine....and yes I am slowly falling into a reverse culture shock induced depression but for the next couple of days at least I'm unbelievably happy in my OWN bed with on tap Yorkshire tea, my foul mouthed siblings and crappy weather.
England baby...I'm back and Montreal... it's not good bye just more a case of see you soon

You are so lucky to get to travel! I want to travel so deeply, but just haven't had as many opportunities yet.
I went to Mexico last year though, and I too was shocked at the english ability of the locals. I was also shocked at their kindness and hearts. Everyone told me that Mexico was a dangerous place, and I was scared at first(being prejudice) but I came around because everyone was so beautiful and caring.
It's amazing what travelling can teach you. Teaches you more than anything you'd learn from your back yard!
I hope you find some more summer hats, summer hats make summer brighter don't they :P :)

Within the park, the Calaveras Fault runs directly beneath the lake…and directly under the dam's foundation.
