First post of 2007... This is for you Gomes

OK. Well. I haven't really been posting because life back in Montreal is not really that exciting. I go to school, I see my friends, I eat, I sleep, I go to Tim Horton's... That's about it. There is a Taco Bell in Montreal now. The chain was banned here before because the meat wasn't high enough quality and apparently we're all meat snobs in Montreal, but while I was away, up pops a Taco Bell. Haven't been yet but I hear the line is like 30 minutes long just to get through the door.... so much for fast food.
Anyway, I went to Nebraska to visit Geoffrey. Met his family, a few of his friends from his town, high school teachers... It was fun. I would have liked to stay a little bit longer but I had to come back for Christmas or my mother would have kicked my butt. And trust me, she may look harmless but it's all an act.
So as I was saying, Nebraska was good. I did some sightseeing, visited the zoo, went to see an empty football stadium... 85,000 people... That's like 4 times the capacity of the Bell Centre. HUGE.
Um that's about it... wow, my life really is boring. Oh... One thing is new. you are looking at the newly appointed treasurer for the Montreal Chapter of the JET Alumni Association. Hooray! I really should not have gone drinking before that dinner. Stupid alcohol.

I leave you with a couple of Nebraska pics just to prove to you that I was there.


Memorial Stadium


The Nebraska State Capitol Building. That was pretty cool actually... but I like weird things
The view from the top of the State Capitol. That's in Lincoln, NE... just in case you didn't know

Downtown Weeping Water. That's Geoffrey's father's grocery store with the red front on the left.
