We have returned from billetting and it took no time at all to feel like a family once again. Within the first day, we were back to our loud, messy selves. The first night was full of stories and descriptions of our billet houses and families. It made me so happy to see all of them again.
Thursday,we all left work early to go out to a camp ground for volunteering. Our job was as simple as picking up sticks. In fact, that was our exact job. A trailor would pull up and it was up to the three katima-groups in the area to fill it with fallen branches (or trees in some cases) from the area. Once filled, we were to pick up an arm-full of the remaining sticks and follow the trailor to a cliff and throw all the colected wood over the edge. It was oddly entertaining. The only down side was the sudden and severe sore throat that struck me while working.
This past weekend, we spent in Montreal. It was amazing, save for the sore throat that developed into full on illness. We visited a botanical garden with very friendly squirrels, the Science Center of Montreal (the current exhibit was Sex: A Tell All Exhibition), Mount Royal, the Holocaust Museum and St. Joseph's Oratory. I was unable to enjoy the last one since I stayed in the Van to sleep and not die. But the other things we did were so much fun, it made up for it. The Holocaust museum was so interesting.
Montreal is a beautiful city
I am now home sick, so please excuse me while I go take yet another nap
Everyday is a new adventure, so no worries.
