Being the far eastern sector of Ontario, and despite the separate history of VanKleek Hill and those Loyalist-settled areas, you can still find a kind of semi-Quebec there. <br /><br />I think the reason she didn't switch was she appreciated you speaking French and felt you would prefer to finish the conversation in that language. <br /><br />Too bad about not having "une biere pour accompagner le petit dejeuner". That could have been your chance to have a Beau's Lugtread in its usual form. Or probably more typically for the town, a Labatt Dry. (Now there's a beer to mix with dry sherry!). :)<br /><br />GaryGary Gillmannoreply@blogger.com
