Like....really? I don't know where to start!!! Right from day one, I knew this exchange was going to be absolutely amazing. Okay, perhaps my French is still very rusty but I did learn a bit more especially in regards to talking with the dogs, haha.

Sebastien and Adam connected with me quite some time before I actually arrived. The communication… read more over those couple of months was continuous which I am very thankful for. And with them living in the far east part of Quebec, it was a relief to be able to communicate in English. La Malbaie though, is very French. Some of the residents do speak English. It's important to know a little bit of French though.

I spent a week in La Malbaie getting to know the place before being let loose on my own. Sebastien introduced me to some English speaking friends which was so very helpful. It is very true, they live in beautiful part of the world. Even though it was winter, it truly is a beautiful area with some real history. Very cool and interesting how this area was formed.

Now, I have to mention the pets because they were the main reason for this exchange. Wow....oh my gosh, they are just so adorable!!!!! Stella, omg...she is so adorable with her fluffy white 'star' paws and her longing gaze. Omg.....like OMG!!!! These animals all have the own very distinct personalities. Whitney, oh Whitney. She is 100% the baby of the family but not a baby. She's a big, strong dog but such a softy. If you like cuddling with a dog, you'll love Whitney, haha. TRULY!!! haha. Oh Champ, sweet little Champ. This dog is so quiet and gentle. She loves to cuddle too but always asks first. Yes, she asks, haha. She'll sit at your feet and look up at you in a longing way. OMG, just so sweet. And of course there's Billie, if/when she comes out of hiding. This one...she's sneaky though often hiding away from the hustle and bustle of the household. She and Champ have an interesting relationship. You'll see when you spend a bit of time with them. Cats tend to take care of themselves. The dogs and I (and my daughter) went for daily walks. Sometimes short walks, sometimes a bit longer depending on the weather or how I felt. Of course though, they love going for walks (I think because they know they'll get a treat afterwards, haha).

All in all, my stay here (along with my daughter) was absolutely one of the best exchanges that I've experienced. Sebastien and Adam are so friendly and welcome...truly wonderful people. The house is beautiful, relaxed and comfortable to stay in. The pets were absolutely 100% so wonderful to be around. Of course, as always, it was difficult to leave. The show must go on though, and continue on to the next stop.

Seb and Adam, thank you so very much for your kindness and allowing me into your home. It's been such a wonderful experience. Merci beaucoup :)
