... and make sure their visit is pleasant.  We hike into the business district, stop at a Tim Horton's for coffee, Canadian Tire for some AAA cells then on to the Museum.  They have much to show and much to tell about the history of Sept Iles.  There is a section dedicated to the aviation history of this place. A young fellow gives us a personal ...

... the plane in Chicago! But anyway, now am at the beautiful hotel, just sitting around. I have already unpacked, but I'm not tired at all! I want to go explore, but its too dark. I think now i will go and check out the rest of the hotel. So far, i see a beautiful view, and an indoor pool. I think I'm going now. Until tomorrow!

... meeting up with the rest of the crowd and paryting the night away at Chez Maurice.Sunday was then made up of sleigh-rides, skating shows and snow sights before jumping on the evening bus back to the Georges :-) Part Two Week two of festival fun was a one-day extravaganza starting and ending in St-G. Carnaval sights this week involved rolling maple syrup in snow to make lollipops, blowing our horns at ...

... my new host was Christian. Very nice guy, and had an appartment on the 16th floor facing mount royal. You could probably get the best view from his place.He took me to the best place in town to get Poutine. Poutine is apparently a very quebecian think, french fries with sauce and fromage (cheese). La Banquise. Christian is also a pilot and promised to take me on a trip if i come in summer.

... i am hungry i cant makeup my mind on what to end. Finally ended up in a fallafel shop.

Now I am back here getting ready to pack for the next leg of our trip (Montreal). Side notes: Toddlers here have it great, parents pull them around on sleds everywhere they go. Also, I have never seen so many people run out in front of buses that are on icy roads, suprised we aren't hearing of more deaths by bus here.

... The area also had some outdoor fireplaces so you could stay thawed even if you weren't drinking. By now, it was snowing on us pretty hard, so we headed back to our warm concierge lounge for snacks. A couple observations after our first day around town: - Yes, they really do speak primarily French - on the menus, radio, TV, everywhere. You would have to learn French to live here (though as a tourist, it isn't hard to get by - lots of ...

... And naturally the evenin ended with a bit of poutine and a slightly drunken nater back up the road - ace! Vik's final full day (which came waaaayyy too soon might I add) started and ended with much random banter and more meals and drinks out on the G-town...with Vik havin to get up way too early it all came to a close too soon :-( Miss you Vik...thanks for bein my first visitor, incredible!!

... peu près la seule bourgade peuplée entre notre point de départ et celui d'arrivée. Ce sera d'ailleurs l'occasion pour moi de découvrir les merveilleux services de Télébec, à l'époque pas encore une filiale de Bell Canada pour le Nord québécois. Donc jusqu'à maintenant, peu de péripéties. Ce premier soir, nous le passons chez de la famille de Pat. C'est le lendemain que l'action commence : le travail sera de nuit, de sept heures le soir à sept heures le matin, au ...
