Tasting my toes...

Good Bye Montreal

It's time to part way
The sky is all gray

We woke up later than usual, and for once, everybody stayed together for the whole day!

After packing up and a brief breakfast, we headed to the airport. In the taxi, dad chatted with the driver while I was looking at the landscape moving by quickly.

As we were waiting in line at the US immigration, uncle Chris noticed that one of the people in front of us looked like one of the F1 racers. Sure enough, it was Nick Heidfeld!!! And to add to that, he signed uncle Chris' cap, which happened to be of the same team as Heidfeld's (BMW Sauber)... what a coincidence!

In the plane, I slept the first half of the trip (quite a record nap for me), and spent the rest of the time looking at other passengers (again making funny faces).
An air hostess even carried me for a while and tried to teach me some French Canadian!

Surprisingly, I didn't cry on this flight either and I even found it funny when the plane started to shake during landing!

Uncle Tommy and his friend Wendy picked us up with the Odyssey and home we went!

It's good to be back home!

Blah Blah

Or maybe "pa"?

I'm not sure, but I might have said it!

More shopping with mom while uncle Chris and dad went to the circuit Gilles Villeneuve, attending the Canadian Grand Prix of Formula One race.

It was very hot and sunny today and I needed to drink a lot from the sippy cup.

The day went by slowly and when we got all together again, everyone seemed so tired...

This is my third day in Canada.

Did a bit of shopping ("magasinage" in French-Canadian) with mom while the two other males were watching cars turn in circle.

Dad came back early this time, and we went for a little splash in the hotel swimming pool. The water was warm so I didn't get all panicked. I don't think I really enjoyed it, but oh well, my parents seemed happy to take a bunch of snapshots!

When uncle Chris came back, we all went to the Sainte Catherine Street, and boy, it was packed like a can of sardines. Did I mention it was Quebec national day today? Maybe not...
Lots of people on the street, loud music, cars honking and more people... I kept my composure but that sure feels a bit different from back home.

We went to a small hole in the wall for dinner and I didn't behave this time (too much excitement?). Nevertheless they managed to finish their meals and we all headed back to the hotel, all very tired.

Bath and zzz... way to celebrate my 23 weeks of existence!

O Canada...

It's funny how some people talk here.
They kind of sound like dad, but not quite exactly the same way... but people are so nice here! I've never seen so many people making funny faces!

The weather was lovely today, and mom and I did what we planned to do: a bit of shopping.

When uncle Chris and dad came back from the track, their faces were so red, I didn't know what to say... in fact I didn't say anything.

We then all went to old town Montreal, and had dinner (yes, me too!) at a place called "Papillon". They were showing France-Togo on TV and dad got all crazy... kind of scary.
Mom made a good choice by getting the duck, so did uncle Chris with his steak. I had my cereals which was fine, and last but not least, dad chose to eat a Wapiti... For those who do not know what a wapiti is, it is indeed a deer. And a pretty stinky one I must say.

Dinners in Montreal seem to last forever... we must have stayed 2 hours before heading back to the hotel.
This is when I got a chance to ride on the metro again... I wasn't that impressed, but then again, I'm not easily impressed ;)

Dad went berserk when he saw the recap of the game (France won 2-0) and I believe he was trying to teach me how to do some sort of victory dance.

Then bath and zzz...

Going to Montreal!

Yay, my first long distance trip, and on a plane!

Uncle Chris and dad are going to the Formula One Grand Prix, while mom and I will be mostly doing some shopping.

The flight was pretty fast, I didn't really cry on the plane and actually enjoyed it quite a bit!

When we arrived in Montreal, it was already dark and we took a taxi (minivan to fit everything) and arrived shortly after at our hotel (Marriott Chateau Champlain).
I was mesmerized by the night lights since I don't usually get to see those in L.A. (bed time for me!).

Dad slept with me last night

Did I just say 'Ma'?

I must be mistaken...

Crawling backward

Now I'm not really sure how that usually works, but I can't seem to go forward!!!
