Jeudi

It must be these jeans. When I wear them, I end up getting soaked. :P I love walking home in the rain.

Anyway, the longer this week lasts, the more exhausted I am. I thought I would feel like going to some more museums, but I’m too tired. (It’s probably for the best, because it gives me more time to study.) It’s also still raining, like I said. Mme. F says that she can’t remember a summer when it’s rained this much. They received a record-breaking amount of snow last winter, and they’ve already received a record-breaking amount of rain this summer.  

Megan, Amy, and I attempted to say our goodbyes today over lunch, and then we decided that we would be able to meet again tomorrow, so we put that off. This afternoon, I wanted to go to Vieux-Port again, but it wouldn’t have worked very well with all the rain. Mme. F offered to drive me, though, since she already had somewhere to go. Unfortunately, there was a huge traffic jam on the highway, so she ended up dropping me off at the bus stop instead. Oh well, I finished my gift shopping at the Marché du Vieux-Port and enjoyed walking through the Fête de Nouvelle France on my way back to the bus stop. Everything was decked out in a celebration of French Canadian history (including the people – the costumes were interesting!). I loved the traditional music they were playing, too; it reminded me of the square in Mountain View. It was a good end to my last afternoon in Vieux-Québec.
