    Marie-Julie makes her star

    We've become friends through our blogs. I just watched this cracking video portrait of Marie-Julie Gagnon, my fellow Quebecer, which has just been posted on Canoe.ca. I love it! To the question: "Why do you blog?", she answers as I might have done myself. I can so, so relate to her words!

    I love Montreal. There are skyscrapers, maple trees, squirrels and pumpkins. They speak French, but you feel like you're in an American TV series. So much fun!

    Fall Plant Surge in Canada

    This Canadian escapade starts in the rain ... Yes! It's fall. But whatever. In the Laurentians, the colors of the trees explode, even under a gray sky.

    For once, I'm not in Asia. And I'm not blowing bubbles underwater. No, I've crossed the Atlantic for a week's getaway in Montreal...

    Overseas

    I love this Anglo-Saxon expression. Overseas: literally "beyond the seas, overseas". Meaning: "elsewhere, abroad".
