It has been a long time since I have posted and thought I would catch you up to date on what is happening! We are busy digging ourselves out of winter here in Montreal. Spring is just around the corner, I can feel it...temperatures are above 0 degrees Celsius! Sarah moved out a few weeks back and is enjoying her independence. John's business is going great guns and I am busy studying cultural anthropology. We went ice fishing a few weeks back with our friends Joseé and Pierre. We got up at 3:30 in the morning to be at their place by 5:00 am and head up to somewhere near Oka, called Lac des Deux Montagnes. It was freezing cold and the little shack took quite awhile to heat up. It was just about lunch time! The fish they first caught were little perch that were the size of the ones I dissected in Grade 8 Science class! They eat these little guys whereas I would have thrown them back! They did however catch a larger one at the very end of the day when their brother-in-law Denis came to save the day! The whole experience was not one John or I would repeat but it is one you must have when in Quebec!
