Thanks PO! On the trip, my mother and I did something I have wanted to do all my life as well.....we took the ferry (five hours) to Iles de la Madeleine, which is a tiny completely French speaking island. I used to watch the ferry leave from my Grandmother's house (she is right on the sea) and wish, wish, wish I was on it. Now, I have been!
It was very interesting to try and communicate when you don't really know the language, but it was fun to try. Of course my mother was better at it than I was since she spoke French until she was about 11 years old. At that time, they moved to an English speaking area and although my grandmother kept trying to make the children (14 of them eventually!) speak French, they quit because it was not "cool". Kind of sad about that.
