The funniest thing of the program to me is when the group was in Charlottetown.
One Saturday, we were having a potluck at Marlon and David's house.
When we finished eating we were sitting outside talking and enjoying the sunshine,
then Marlon's host parents' dog was barking and jumping up at
Olardo's pants. The dog continued to do so even when Olardo fell to
the ground. The dog was over him and barking and playing with him still!
