Day Five: Au Revoir Quebec!

It's hard to believe that we've just ended our last day in Quebec! What a fun-filled day roaming the Village des Sports, riding run after run in our inner tubes, and enjoying the 3 degree temperature (just BARELY above zero). We're tired tonight, after a deeply meaningful (and long) epilogue during which students shared their appreciations of each other. (Would you believe that they had so many compliments to pass out to each other that we had to RESTRICT them to two minutes per person!? Gosh these kids love each other right now!). Anyway, students will write text tomorrow while we're on the plane, to chronicle these final hours. You'll notice that the person in the final picture does not look familiar. He is Eddie, the security guard who sat watch over us every night. The kids took to him right away and always enjoyed saying goodnight before heading off to bed. Not only is Eddie an all around nice guy, but he's also a star baseball player, currently on the Quebec Nationales and formerly a member of the Dodgers, among other notable teams.

Stay tuned for more stories tomorrow, and enjoy these pictures of our awesomely fun day:
