hitchiking hot dogs, a recipe for lysteria.

quick discourse if you are interested.
yan picked us up around midnight from a hostel that we were going to stay at. he picked us up in a convertible that was blaring really bad techno music, beside him was a lady who didnt say anything the entire ride. he drove us around the city really fast, smiling at people in cars beside us.

stayed with a lady who i think secretly hated us, and thought we stole her pillow cases.

stayed with this guy who was pretty sickly who said that if he ate anything spicey he would poop blood. there were hundreds of pictures in his room, some of them were pictures of him in a hospital, once when he had lysteria, the other pnemonia. he was really nice however, he gave us budweiser.

we hitchiked into quebec city. it only took 5 hours, considering it is about a 3 hour drive. we were in a total of four automobiles. driving on the number 20 there was a massive storm ahead of us (i have never seen so much sky at one time- it is so flat!) huge ominous black clouds were a few kilometers east, as we stood on the highway under the blazing sun. huge fork lightning, rumbling thunder and rain that disguised any perspective possible with a brown-black haze.

got into quebec at 20:00 and met up with nicolas our host for couchsurfing. he lived in this huge old brick building. we then went to a bar down these tiny lanes were there was free pool and food. the guy behind the bar apparently has different recipes everyday. todays menu was hot dogs on toast. the only customer other than us was a man who ordered a coffee and stood staring at the wall with a goatee that was long and braided. he looked like he just got out of jail. he sat there for at least an hour, as we ate the plate of toast, cheese and hotdogs. we then asked the bartender about him, apparently he visits the bar a few times per night ordering coffee and using the toilet.

we met up with bex and gabe yesterday. finally after one month human contact. we drank beer on top of the wall looking over the city. the city is beautiful, and really old. however, i have never seen so many tourist buses, field tripping children, old rich couples, and role playing attractions at tourist sites. the bugs are insane, walls of bugs makes the sky look like static from the tv. chateu frontnac is amazing, this doesnt look anything like canada.

we are again out of a place to stay.
