Just returned to the hotel after the first full day of the conference. If I hadn’t mentioned it before – Quebec City on the St Lawrence where it narrows (Algonquin = Kebec = narrows. Wiki is always fun) and is one of the oldest cities in North America. Both the hotel in which I am staying and the conference center are in the city which means that there may be half a million or more people in the area but this area is older, quirky, has parks and isn’t crowded.

It is an easy walk from the hotel, the Plenary Sessions as well as the Symposia are good. There is also the slight fact that there is enough food at the noon time conferences and coffee breaks to last the entire day….

The Summary for the day:

Don’t get bit

And don’t eat shit….
