After walking through the old town most of yesterday, we ventured beyond the city walls, to the modern part of Quebec and its aquarium.

Day 10—Fairmont Richelieu
For my birthday, we spent the day hanging out in the Fairmont Richelieu—analogous to Asheville’s Grove Park Inn.

It was a gorgeous day so we spentContinueContinue reading “Day 10—Fairmont Richelieu”

Leo was sick this morning, so it was just me and Arthur that hit The Links at Lang Farm at 7:20 this morning. Short, affordable, incredibly well maintained golf course.

Another travel day, mostly. After all, we are trying to slowly make it to Canada, so that’s why we left NYC in the morning and –fortified with Bagels (+schmear)– embarked on another 5 hour drive, this time to Northern Vermont.
