The Great White North, Eh?
From Looking for America in Quebec, Canada on Jul 23 '06

Are we sure we're in Canada? It feels more like France. Everything is French here; the menus, the radio, the street signs.... everything. (Carrie, we needed you to translate for us!!) The weather is a cool 66 degrees. Fahrenheit or celsius....who knows? We don't do metric. We are staying at a great hotel where we thought we'd paid $80. We now think we paid about $130. (This whole conversion thing is confusing, what can we say?) Canadian money is worth more than we thought, yet still less than American. We hung out at a bar with some locals who were very nice and wanted to learn about us as well. They asked to look at our I.D.'s and American money. Weird. Gas is about $4/gallon here.
