The next four days were spent living living with their "host family". Each Canadian stayed with a family of a Pennsylvania Guider. They tasted different different foods and shared slangs. We are all so close, yet so far apart. The Canadians brought home two t-shirts and patches (ours arc badges) The Wait Is Over -- Roy given to them by the Pennsylvania Guiders.
