I Spy P.S.
I don't think anyone's noticed who is hiding in the Patagonia bag...it's hard to see, but somebody's in there!
So...same as Patagonia wetsuits, Christina: good on the outside, fuzzy on the inside. ;-)

FAR EAST
Adam and I are heading to the Far East this morning. Well, the East Coast. Our first stop is Quebec City and then it's onto Florenceville, Fredericton, Moncton, Shediac, Sackville, Kejimkujik National Park, Lunenburg, Halifax, and then back to Florenceville.
Follow our adventures at www.rivasoucie.com.
And...since I always miss everyone while I'm away, I'll be awarding an East Coast-themed prize to the person who leaves the best comment on any post about our vacation!

Practice Commute
I practiced my commute this morning to get a sense of how long it will take me to get to work (and back). It's about 40 minutes on the way there and nearly an hour on the way home. Ick. But all is not lost, as I get to pass just West of the Laval Streeet farmer's market and directly past Vice Versa, Cafe Le Twist, and La Brulerie.
I took a break in the 'Treats' cafe that's housed in the bottom of my building. I was ravenous from my 30 minute walk (only 10 minutes of my commute are on a bus), so I ordered an egg and cheese sandwich on brown toast. "No bacon?" the clerk asked me. "Nope," I replied. "Le mayonnaise?" "Oui," I responded (my French is so good!). "Cheddar ou le swiss?" "Cheddar," I confidently replied. It came with bacon, Cheez Whiz, and an inch-thick layer of the cheapest mayonnaise on the planet. Delicious! Also, they have a bookshelf full of old novels in the cafe, so I got to read the first three pages of Monsieur Quixote.
