Quebec City

I traveled to Quebec City earlier this month for a conference. The foliage was spectacular. Visiting QC is a unique North American travel experience. The architecture, the language (French), and culture is unlike most places in our part of the world.





I stayed at the Auberge Internationale which is a youth hostel. Surprisingly, there were people older than me staying there! The price was right - $32 per night...cheaper than the cab ride ($32.50) from the airport!






I had a lower bunk in a room for 6 women. Bedding was provided although you had to bring your own padlock and towel.







Jim Raymond is a former student and son of my good friend Lisa from Chicago State. He enjoyed the night life of Quebec City!








This is the home where I grew up in Hancock, NY.

In baseball, anything can happen...

Dan's 8th grade team had a great season, but it ended yesterday at the state tournament. Aunt Jeanne and cuz Erin joined us at the game.




Tom is back to the harvest now that we are out of the tournament. He remarked this morning that his ideal work day begins with about 4 hours of reading newspapers, magazines, markets, etc. Having to get out the door before 10 am to harvest the crop is quite a challenge for him.

Please.
