Poutine and a beer, hoser
Originally uploaded by birdahonk

Kerry and I took a little road trip up to Quebec City back in mid may. We have plenty of photos on flickr. I considered using one of my many beautiful photos of the architecture in the Old City, but when it came down to it, the beer and poutine seemed more appropriate.

We spent on day touring the Old City, another day shopping, and the last day visiting the big waterfall and touring a nearby island with lots of cider tasting at cideries (yes, that's the apple version of winery). We stayed at a great B&B in the perfect location. It's called Gîte aux Deux Lions. It was a really nice place just a 15 minute walk from the old city and 5 minutes from the shopping. The proprietor, Jean-Francois was a fantastic host (we gave him and his B&B a great review on TripAdvisor). We highly recommend it ti anyone considering a trip.

Kerry and I spent a week in Miami earlier in April for a Forrester Conference. We managed to get away for a few days following the conference. You can see photos here. We spent some time in South Beach, went to Joe's Stone Crab restaurant, and generally got a lot of sun.

I finally got around to uploading the pictures from our Brazil trip in September up on flickr (hey, 6 months late is better than never, right). We had a blast and got some great photos, except for some that were crappy quality (takeaway: buy a nice camera). We decided not to bring our own camera just in case a local decided to liberate it from us.
