This year we returned to Sunday River for a week of skiing, shopping and lots of fun. Bob can’t ski so he spent his idle time exercising, tying flies, working on the computer and reading. Our group included Mary MacDonald, Dave MacDonald, Holly Hunter and Boyd Hunter.
After the skiing was finished we all journeyed to Quebec City to take in the Winter Carnival. This time we were very fortunate to be able to stay at an Apartment on Rene Lévesque Avenue which was on the Carnival Parade route. We enjoyed fine dining, the usual carnival rides including Mary and Genevieve’s Dog Sled Mushing. Holly and Boyd gave them a run for their money this time around. Neither the International Federation of Sled Dog Sports (IFSS) or the International Sled Dog Racing Association (ISDRA) have approached them to sign up for next year’s Iditarod.
We left Quebec on Monday (February 14th) and had a very snowy drive home arriving totally exhausted at 3:00 AM on Tuesday morning.
