Rainy sunday

Got up a little later this morning (finally). The rain was pooring down, well, continuously. Decided to suit up (rain gear) and go look for a 'drug store' that sells a lot more that just pharmaceutical products (a lot high tech stuff too like computers, sound systems, etc).
What happened ? Well, I didn't find the drugstore, although - in retrospect - I was on the right track. The canadian/american road system apparenly allows for 2 different streets to have the same name. Well, maybe not quite that way.
A street can be interrupted by several other streets and you can pick up that same interrupted street again a mile later.
To clarify:
Each street with the same number is on a fixed degree of latitude (from E to W or vice versa) or longitude (N to S or vice versa). No matter what the interruption is (river, park, city centre) you'll find it on the other side.
One thing is clear though, without a car, you're nobody. Well ok, that might be true everywhere in the world, but even MORE SO here. Especially if you have to cover several miles (x 1.6 for km's) in this continuous rain ;-)
Flickr photo blog has some pictures of homestay (inside). Enjoy.
Thanks again (everybody) for the kind and encouraging messages in the comment section !
