Looking good here, Robin, but then again, I wouldn't expect anything less!

On the riddle, I said, "second place," but only because I'd heard that one before...

Keep up the good work, my friend!

OK - so I return after 5 weeks absence and now you're 5 weeks pregnant

Not sure what to think of that my friend

Congratulations. Talk to you soon again.

rooker1 · October 08, 2008, 07:48:20 AM

First of all let me thank you all for the warm congratulations, it's very much appreciated. My wife is already using the pregnancy to her advantage. Can't cook dinner, too tired....can't work right now, too tired.....can you get me this and that, I need to relax......can't get your beer for you, I'm pregnant, you'll have to get it yourself.

Just kidding on the last one.

Anyways, it's all okay with me for the next nine months plus....

So...I just got back from a business trip over the last weekend and I thought I would share a few pictures with you all of the more than beautiful Qubec City.

This is the view from the front of the Delta Hotel where I was staying.

Here is a view down Avenue Honore-Mercier. The streets there are all very steep, at least compared to where I live In Toronto where everything is relatively flat.

This is the Hotel du Parliment with Jacques Cartier statue in the front. The landscaping around the entire building was so beautiful with a maze of paths surrounded by gardens of flowers and trees.

Some facts taken from Wikipedia on this incredible bridge.
The Quebec Bridge (Pont de Québec in French) in Canada crosses the lower Saint Lawrence River to the west of Quebec City, and Lévis, Quebec.
The Quebec Bridge is a riveted steel truss structure and is 987 metres (3,239 ft) long, 29 m (94 ft) wide, and 104 m (340 ft) high. Cantilever arms 177 m (580 ft) long support a 195 m (640 ft) central structure, for a total span of 549 m (1800 ft), the longest cantilever bridge span in the world. It is the easternmost (furthest downstream) complete crossing of the Saint Lawrence.
The bridge accommodates three highway lanes (none until 1929, one until 1949, two until 1993), one rail line (two until 1949), and a pedestrian walkway (originally two); at one time it also carried a streetcar line. It has been owned by the Canadian National Railway since 1993.

Chateau Frontenac. Now this is a huge magnificent hotel that over looks the Quebec City and the Saint Lawrence River and is right in the Heart of Old Quebec City. A major tourist attraction and where I spent most of my time.

A view from the upper wall to some of the residentail areas.

Some shops and resturaunts.

The view from the escalator.

There are four of my friends in this picture on our way to find a place for lunch.

If there is any interest in any of the pictures, I have actually taken about 175 picutes of the city, just PM me and we can talk.

Quote of the Day....
Albert Einstein (1879-1955) once said, "Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted."

Interesting Facts....
Science of Brain Fitness
The human brain starts slowing down as early as age 25. Scientific research has started to show that we can stay mentally fit.
The brain has the ability to create new neural connections and pathways, at any age. This can be used as a sort of "brain savings account" that can be used later in life.

Look for the next Update in the next few days.
