Montreal

Yes we are home, just haven't gotten to updating the website.  Montreal was great!  Penny, Kim, Kurt and I, spent
an intensive weekend learning the latest and greatest techniques, fitness information and agressive skating
to share with our students.  We arrived on Thursday before the conference and took a little time to enjoy the city with a boat tour, lunch in a quaint cafe' and
checking out the shops.

Montreal is quite open to inline skating, and infact is considered a mode of transportation }that shares allocated lanes with bikes!

Kim and I went for a City skate on Tuesday
prior to leaving for home, we skated across
the St Laurence River and over near the
Montreal Indy track where Slyvester Stalone
was filming his new movie Driven.
But we couldn't convince Norman
the security guard to let us skate in
