Drummondville, Quebec

Dinner with Ghis's family. Morgane liked her new pink goggles so much she thought she'd wear them right away.

We’ve spent the last two days here visiting with Ghis’s family and trying to pack our car for the trip. We are planning on leaving tomorrow… morning or maybe later.

Maybe we are crazy to think we can fit all we need for a year in a small Kia hatchback. Now we are faced with a few hard decisions as to what we can fit. We have our camping stuff, our clothes, a small cooler that plugs in, a few games, Morgane’s homeschool work and that’s about it.

Today Morgane got sick, so we hope she’ll be better tomorrow. We don’t need to start our trip with vomit in the car!

Carmanah (our dog) has been keeping her eye on us. She’s afraid we might leave without her, but we won’t.

This morning, we visited the Drummondville public market and it was fabulous. I remember going there when I was new to Quebec, how friendly everyone was. We are hoping to get most of our food during our trip from markets and local producers. Yum.

Tomorrow we’ll finish the last of our packing and maybe trade in our car for a van! Just kidding about the second part.
