As a Valentines Day treat for JJG— I’m taking her to the motherland for some romantic R&R in Quebéc City. We’ll be catching the last days of Carnival. Last time I was in Quebec City was a 4 grade school trip from Montréal to the Plains of Abraham. I’m sure the trip will be a lot more fun this time with cheese and Caribou (a “feisty alcoholic beverage”).

There’s no better way to cool down than drinks at the Ice Palace and tobogganing down the front of the Chateau Frontenac. We’ll be back on the 15th. Au revoir!
