Boys In The Ancestral Land

June 2000. Grand Pre, Nova Scotia. (clockwise from top) Joel Savoy, Matthew Doucet, Andy Perin & me (Lucius Fontenot).

We were all attending Universite Ste-Anne's French Immersion program that Summer. We four Cajun boys decided to take a road trip to the site at which the British begun the expultion of our Acadian ancesters. It is may seem hoky to say but I felt a true connection there. I felt at home.
