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! | |
The National Skate Patrol hosted a Friday Nite Skate in the downtown area, and 70 instructors from all over the world had a great time seeing the sights of the city | |

Sunday were spent from early morning till, early morning in clinics, seminars and a Disco skate dance party that started at 11:30pm Saturday nite. Needless to say we were kept busy the entire time!. |
After the Conference, Kim and I stayed two extra days and enjoyed the city shopping and sights |

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 |
