Day 7: Chill

If it's not obvious from the videos, I haven't got much sleep over these past six days. So today was a chill day.

I woke up this morning feeling surprisingly okay after imbibing much more than I'm used to last night. Glen was heading for Toronto on a job this morning, so I left with him and we hung out a had a coffee before he caught the bus.

I changed cafes, caught up on some personal correspondence (I really haven't had time to touch base with my friends), and headed back to Pierre's place mid-afternoon. We played a little road tennis before heading out to see Up, the 3D Disney movie with Pierre and his little girl Arianne. It was Pierre's first 3D movie. (The boy has to get out more often.)

Arianne is lovely and I hope I can get her and Seth together. Her English is no better than my French. So far, I have felt okay trying to speak French when possible. For the most part I don't mind looking stupid. However, for whatever reason, I find that trying to speak French with a ten year old is extremely intimidating. Makes me feel horribly inadequate.

Back to the day's summary... we had a meal at a buffet place - Arianne's choice. And then we came back. Pierre went on a date last night and apparantly it was a very late date. He's an old guy and doesn't have much stamina. ;o) So I think he probably feel asleep putting Arianne to bed at 9pm.

That was my day: Laid back, chilled and relaxed. No video. Maybe a little one tomorrow. Definitely more videos once Seth is here. I'm excited to show him the city and also to take a little day trip to Quebec.
