O Canada & Ernesto

We're in Quebec, quickly remembering our high school French....doing pretty good so far. Delta lost our bag but it was delivered in the middle of the night last night. We spent yesterday on a shopping spree in Montreal, including Roots, which is the quintessential Canadian store. Then we drove from Montreal to Quebec, which, after getting out of the city of Montreal, was very desolated, except for the farmhouses along the St. Lawrence River. Our hotel, the Loews, has an amazing view of the Chateau Frontenac, where we had drinks last night, as well as the Fleuve St.-Laurent behind it.

As far as Ernesto, it's looking bad for New Orleans and the rest of the Gulf Coast...everywhere from Lake Charles, Louisiana to Pensacola is currently in the "Cone of Death" by early Thursday morning. It looks like it would probably make landfall next weekend (while we're enjoying the beach in Tybee ironically). As of Tuesday morning, the anniversary of Katrina (8/29) it will be making landfall in Cuba as a CAT 1, 2 or 3 Hurricane...
