Day 43 (August 13th)

Got up this morning at about 8:30. Did the last of my packing and then had crepes with fruit for breakfast. After breakfast we gave Sylvain and Gilberte their presents (slide show, chocolate, card) and then had a shower and braided my hair. After that, we weighed our bags and did a final sweep of the house. Then we said goodbye to Gertrude (the guinea pig) and the house before Gilberte and Sylvain drove us to the train station. When we got there, we got our baggage tags and then said a tearful goodbye to our Quebec family. Once we were in the terminal area, I got a sandwich (cuz no lunch) and then we hung around for about an hour before getting on the train that took us to Toronto. The trip was about 5 hours and we had pasta chicken salad, a juice box, bread and a piece of chocolate cake for dinner. James-Elizabeth also gave us the candy she bought with extra budget money. I passed the time between Montreal and Toronto listening to music and playing cards with Tae. Once we got to Toronto, we got off our little train and waited for the next, significantly bigger train. Then we boarded and got ourselves set up. I brushed my teeth and put PJs on and then me and Tae watched Lilo and stitch. After that it was very much bed time. I miss my Quebecois family already, but I’m glad to be working my way home.

    Happy to hear that you are established on your trip, though I appreciate that everyone could use a little more room. Good to hear the logistics were relatively smooth. Plus tower. Take time to enjoy the view!
