Arrival!

I made it to Dunham! After waiting 2 hours in the train station last night, then a couple more at the airport, then a 2 hour drive through the unplowed highways/streets of Montreal in a van where we could only get in the driver's door and out the passenger's door; neither of the sliding doors opened. Good fun packing 6 of us in, each with about 3 large bags each.  So we got in around midnight. We've basically had free time here today, I played guitar with a few of the guys who came from the Cayman Islands.. they're awesome, one plays bass, one plays drums, and the other plays guitar and keyboard.  We had lunch, which the French actually call dinner, and dinner is called supper or supe.  Some of the staff only speak French, but most are fluent in both French and English.  They're all very interesting though.  The students are from all over.. the Cayman Islands as I mentioned, Switzerland, Germany, France, Vancouver, Scotland (two of my roommates are Scottish) then there are some girls from Michigan, Indiana, and Maryland so we've got a pretty good variety.  Tonight we are having a welcome "supper" which I guess is called "the love feast", can't wait!
