A bientot mon amis...hasta pronto

Post by Manuel » Sat Oct 26, 2013 7:48 pm

Hi guys,

As some of you already know, the spanish westie has left those green lands for Canada. I wished to have said bye on the seas but my always bad timing didn\'t allow me to do so (Spaniard and timing never got on with each other :) Anyway there\'s no reason for a farewell since I do wish to see you again and I’ll do my best to do it.

Nevertheless I\'d like to say It\'s been so great to get to know a tee of those seas with such an awesome company as ye are (talking to the seals right now :). In there, with you, I have learnt that I knew nothing about the sea, the same as I do now. But now I have learnt a bit more what the sea can be. You have taught me on the seas, and also most of the times that experience was taken between memorable moments on the beach...with you, sometimes secretly, sometimes not, laughing at my English  Thanks for what you taught me, thanks for taking me as one of you...but anyway you have noticed this gratitude in my astonished face at any time spent by you.

Yesterday I was walking around, searching for paddling spots about Montreal Island, and met up a guy from Ontario renting kayaks. Obviously we ended up talking about paddling for a while. At one stage, he said that I sounded quite funny, since behind my Spanish manners he could notice an Irish touch on me. I felt proud as few times before, truly.

So guys, as I told you, you will for sure have to bear me again, putting that funny face when trying to understand me :) In the meantime, please give me a shout whenever you happen to jump over the puddle...I\'ll be gald to see ye down here. My mail is mlopez68atgmaildotcom.

Hasta pronto amigos, a bientot
All the best for ye all,
Manuel

PS: I was thinking of ending the post with some shamrocks linked with maple leaves but that would be so gaudy....wouldn\'t it? :) so I have uploaded some photos instead:

Hi Manuel, nice to hear from you and hope Canada has embraced you with open arms. You obviously learnt a lot more about the sea while you were here than you profess as your photos do not lie - you got to see some of the best parts of Ireland with the dodgiest elements of Irish society - and you survived! It will be interesting to see what a period of immersion in Canada will do for your English and your sideburns. Just make sure you keep on paddling! Hasta le vista Taurus de Mer B)
