Hard for us to believe, but we’ve already been in Canada for 2 months now. Time does fly….

After the US immigration and 39-hour journey episode we landed in Toronto kaput and disoriented. We stayed at my sister’s place for a week, sort of softening our final landing. Feeling tired of being on the go all the time doesn’t mean it is easy to arrive after a year of travelling and discovery…. It’s kind of freaky actually.

While still in Australia we used to talk of all the things we could do here during the summer which we normally never get to because we’re not here long enough; there were talks of camping, of visits, of falls, of people to see, of local travels, landscapes, etc. Well guess what? We haven’t done one of them. And it suits us just fine. We’re beached here in our home and I can’t really tell what we spend our days doing but somehow we’re never bored, we just live and it’s enough to keep us happy for now. Needed rest maybe??

One important event must be mentionned though: Valerie & Stephane got married!

Valerie is my best friend in the whole wide world since I’m 11, so I was more then happy to be back to attend her wedding. And since they’re already done with popping kids (5 between the two of them) they didn’t go on a standard honeymoon: they rented a chalet for 4 days for the whole extended family! So we got to run around in the grass with the small one, eat Val’s brother-in-law’s BBQ cooking, have evening drinks with opa, go on the lake in kayaks with the big kids…. Now that was a change from the both of us alone travelling in our van in Australia!

Now we are very excited because for the 1st time ever our friends from Zurich are coming over to visit us in our Canadian home. Only 4 more sleeps before we pick Rene & Carmela up at the airport. Hourra!
