Maman, Louise Bourgeois, National Gallery of Canada
Dear Charlie,
I am sure you are fully enjoying the start of the holiday
Just a little note and a few photos from Ottawa to let you know that I am well and not yet frozen (contrary to what some students feared. )
I spent the whole day on Friday at Hillcrest and it was wonderful to get the opportunity to meet our Canadian partners face to face and not only screen to screen. Hopefully, next time I won't be just me. Fingers crossed.
Here are a few facts I already knew and I've confirmed:
Canadians are some of the nicest and friendliest people I know
Ottawa is a lovely city in every season.
What is mild winter weather to Canadians is actually quite cold to me.
The Canadian breakfast plate at the restaurant could feed 2 people but I ate it all and it was delicious. When in Rome….
I am not cut out to be a lumberjack or confront a grizzly bear. Snow that glistens and looks icy is indeed totally frozen and slippery and it is not a good idea to take a short cut through it.
There's a lot more on the agenda next week. I'll keep you posted.
Take care,
Mrs.C.

ReplyDeleteOttawa seems great (and cold!!!)! I would have loved to see Louise Bourgeois' famous sculpture! Enjoy your holidays, bye :)
ReplyDeleteOttawa looks like a very cool city. And it sure seems to be cold in winter. I went to Canada once and it's true that Canadians are very friendly people. I really hope we'll have the chance to go with the class and meet our correspondante.
