vacation

Next year, Miranda and I, are heavily weighing a cruise to Maine/Canada for our 10 year anniversary. I talked to a guy at work that was in the military and lived in Canada for awhile. He gave me some tips about Quebec. Apparently the only months that he never saw snow was July and August. The rest of the year, there is a possibility of snow being on the ground or in the air.

He also said to say "je suis l'américain" (I am American) instead of "je ne parle pas de français" (I don't speak French). Apparently if you say "I don't speak French" they think you are an English speaking Canadian and will respond "je ne comprends pas" (I don't understand). They do perfectly but will refuse to speak English. However they won't expect Americans to know French.
