The Montreal Canadiens hockey team will be playing in Boston this Saturday, the Boston Marathon is this Monday, and 40 girls from Miss Edgar’s and Miss Cramps Girls School in Montreal (Home of the Beavers) are going to be in town for the next five days. Danielle left with her school this morning for Bean Town where the symphonic group will perform in addition to taking in the sights, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Blue Man group, Salem and great museums. It sounds like an awesome trip. Danielle just called from the bus to say that they had to give the chaperon the serial numbers of their instruments and MacBooks because the Canadian Border officials may ask for them on the way back into the country.

About this blog...
Welcome to the Pisani Family Canadian Adventure blog. We moved to Montreal in October 2008 -- just as the financial crisis hit the fan in Canada. We like to think of ourselves as breath of fresh air in Canada rather than being linked by time to the turbulent economy. After ten years in Naperville, Illinois, and many other places before that, this blog communicates what's up with the fam and the crazy dog Duke Urlacher (now known as Duke Gretzky), things we're learning in Canada and the differences between the two countries, shared by a very long border. So close, yet so far away in many ways. We try to add humor to our blog entries, because, well, we like to laugh. We like jokes, funny You Tube videos and good commercials. We apologize for some of the language...we sometimes let "bad" words fly. However, we're finding that cuss words in French, or with a French accent, sound so much better.
