Nuit longue mais peu de sommeil. Je vois les lumières de Cuba à 3 h 30.
Arrivée à Toronto à 5 h 30 du matin. Nous attendons un peu et prenons le bus à 6 h 45. Jens téléphone à Paul vers 7 h et il vient nous attendre au terminus du bus à Richmond Hill. Nous arrivons après 10 minutes chez eux. Janice est là mais part rapidement pour aller travailler. Nous sommes vraiment contents de nous revoir tous.
Nous prenons le petit-déjeuner ensemble, nous nous mettons au courant des dernières nouvelles de nos familles et amis communs. Puis allons faire des courses avec Paul. Le cliché que tout est grand en Amérique est vrai ici: Les maisons sont immenses, les supermarchés sont immenses …
A 1 h 30, Don et Fran, deux amis d’Edmonton (années 70 !) arrivent. Encore contents de retrouver de vieux amis. Ils vivent à Ottawa.
Lunch tous ensemble, Janice est revenue, puis Jens et moi nous faisons une sieste. Je dors 3 heures!
Nous faisons une promenade ensuite. Pas une feuille, le printemps n’est pas encore arrivé.
Très bon diner, bonne compagnie, vieux souvenirs, excellente nourriture.
Et au lit à 11 h.
Long night but little sleep. I see the lights of Cuba at 3.30 am.
Arrival in Toronto at 5. 30 am. We wait a bit and take the bus at 6.45 am. Jens phones Paul at 7 am and he comes and picks us at the bus terminal in Richmond Hill. We arrive at their place after 10 minutes. Janice is there but left quickly to go to work. We're really happy to see each other.
We have breakfast together, we exchange the latest news from our families and our friends. Then we go shopping with Paul. The cliche that everything is big in America is true here: The houses are huge supermarkets are huge ...
At 1.30 pm, Don and Fran, two friends from Edmonton (back in the seventies!) arrive. Very happy to meet old friends again. They live in Ottawa.
Lunch together, Janice is back, and Jens and I are doing a nap. I sleep 3 hours!
We go for a walk. Not a leaf, spring is not here yet.
Very good dinner, good company, old memories, great food.
And in bed at 11 pm.
