So finally we got to Canada!!!After a long trip from Girona (having barely slept the night before), to Frankfurt Hahn, getting to Darmstadt to spend the night squatting in my ex-flatmate`s room, flying from to Frankfurt International to London Heathrow, and taking an awesome flight with the best movies ever such as Karate Kid 2010....we got into Montreal! Francis Forest, the big boss of the Forest clan got to pick us up with the the 2 tall Forest males of the family: François and Fabrice. "So wait a minute, I come visit people from the woods expecting gnomes to find taller guys than the ones in Darmstadt.....they fooled me again!!!!"After picking up Fred, we got into a super nice WOODY house...of course! We had a lovely time between french conversations and `cacahuets` with all the family including Lucie, Helene and J-S.

Sun comes through the window to the basement where i sleep in the best matrass ever! It`s morning in the woods!! Prepared the table to have breakfast with everyone...when suddenly...Wood is arriving!!!!"What???"

so yes, before having breakfast every morning the family brings and piles up wood logs in the garage to whet the appetite! Actually that happens mostly only twice a year just to accunulate some wood for the winter...but pretty much a tradition for my first day.

Afterwards we climb up, and i mean "climb up", to the top of the Mount Offord having Fabrice as a guide, who would jump easily reaching the peak without effort.
