No seizure aloud.

Journée gougounes. La première en 6 jours. Nos orteils sont heureux et nous aussi. Pour souligner l'événement et parce que je suis un peu nerd, on décide d'aller passer la journée au Kennedy Space Center. Mes besoins de nerd n'ont malheureusement pas été assouvis, mais quelques questionnements dignes de mention subsistent. Comme celui-ci : pourquoi est-il interdit de faire une crise d'épilepsie au 'Robot Scouts Expedition' ?

Ou serait-ce plutôt 'interdit de faire du break-dance ? Qui sait...

Une autre grande question : les américains ont-ils tous notre bon goût, quand vient le temps de choisir les lunettes de soleil ?


Lorsque nous trouverons réponses à ces questions, nous serons fin prêts pour la grande aventure spatiale. Nous avons déjà complété l'entraînement très rigide du décollage de la navette et avons procédé à l'essayage de nos combinaisons. On est vraiment chic. Les touristes faisaient la file pour nous serrer la main, tellement on est crédible. Dûre dûre, la vie de STAR ! Mars, here we come !

3-2-1... Happy Beer-Pong Year !

Our new year's eve dinner was once again cooked by Bizzy Bee Damaris (Lemuel's mom) who made us super good Porto Rican food. We should bring her back to Montreal so we never have to cook or clean ever again. After dinner, a few of Lem's friends came by the house and started the Beer-Pong tournament. What's beer-pong, are you wondering ? Quite simple... Remember those days where you were playing 25¢ at Peel Pub ? Well it's kinda like it but with big plastic cups, a special beer pong table... and ping pong ball. Fun. But I suck at it while Richard has the best moves ever to deconcentrate the opponents.

We saw the fireworks from a nearby hotel, played the lighter game (dangerous on concrete after loosing so much at beer pong), met nice people and went to bed happy of spending New Year's Eve together.

A visit to Sea World

Mr. Conections (Lemuel) is super nice to get us major rebates to Sea World on the 31st. The day before, they reached an attendance record... we brought bad weather with us so crowds were ok. Natalie wants me to get her a DOLPHIN..... I put my foot down and said a definite NO.

It was interesting to visit but for 70$/pers. it's a bit over rated...unless you know mr. connections or drink 65$ worth of FREE BEER.... yes Sea World is owned by Anheuser-Busch so when you order your over priced dry roast-beef sandwich, you stop by the free beer counter to get, well, a free beer. one per person at a time...so I went a few times. Remember, it's a family tourist attraction... weird huh?
P.S. remember to get free beer after going on the roller-coaster.

A home in Orlando

Marie-Eve and Lemuel were happy to pick us up. We are welcomed to theire place with a wonderful home cooked Poerto-Rican meal. Lemuel's Mom and Juan will spend time with us for part of the week.

Snowbirds, here we come!

Rich's sister Lisou gives us a lift to the airport. Rich is nervous about customs but Natalie's there to reasure our nervous little traveler. Rich is even able to eat a last minute salad before dealing with the funniest and most talkative customs officer in the world...all goes well. A little color from down south will do them well...especially Rich ;-)
