glissades

last week we went to the "glissades" - and not just any glissades, the "super glissades" in saint jean de matha. the idea is simple: you take a tyre-like tube, sit down and slide off a slope. but then there's some interesting variations. slopes going up and down and taking sharp turns. big tubes you can use for up to 12 people, called a raft. sitting in a line on your respective tyres, and holding each other's legs to slide down kind of like a train. in one word, it really was "le fun"! click here to get an idea of what it feels like. this is definitely a reason to visit quebec in winter...
