Don't go to Alaska. Truly.
Head for St. Edward's Island or some such - a place like where the Shipping News took place. My Pepere was originally from a very tiny town called Kamarouska. Sounds Russian for a French town, eh?
OH, I googled it.. It's Algonquin for where reeds meet the water or something.
Voted one of the most beautiful towns in Quebec. Not when Pepere was a little guy, though, I'll bet. He nearly starved to death.
He told me one winter they ate flour mixed with water and maybe an onion if they were lucky.
