Hi everybody,This last weekend rachel and I had a chance to go to Sherbrooke, Quebec to visit a family that I had the chance to meet in Brazil. Ricardo and Monica Vincente were nice enough to let us stay with them for the weekend and be part of their family. While in Sherbrooke we were able to hang out with Artur, Hector, and Karen. Unfortunately I realized when I got home that we didn't get any pictures of Artur when we went out there. This is because at the age of 9 Artur is as busy as can be attending an elite school where he is able to perfect his piano and violin playing as well as contiuing to excel in
academics. I knew that french was widely spoken in Quebec, but I thought that it would be like going to California and hearing spanish being widely spoken. Little did I know Sherbrooke is FRENCH. I don't know if a little more english is spoken in the larger cities in Quebec, but in this rural community english is not spoken much. It was quite a culture shock. Luckily we had the Vincentes to help us out. We really enjoyed being in Sherbrooke and seeing such a unique community.
