Update from the Great White North

Yesterday was the first full day of actual sessions. Yes, believe it or not, I actually attended most of them. I'm not going to sit here and say I got anything out of them, but going is 9/10 of the law (Source: Dan's Law).

After a long day of learning nothing, we went to a light show at the Notre Dame Basilica, followed by a dinner cruise. Now anyone who knows me knows that while I'm a strong believer in God, I'm not big on the whole "going to Church" thing. However, the Basilica was absolutely, breathtakingly amazing. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it in my entire life. The "light show" inside the church to demonstrate its history was a tad on the cheesy side, but the building itself was just beyond words.

Unfortunately, the subsequent dinner cruise didn't invoke the same feelings of awe and amazement as much as it invoked feelings of nausea and, well, more nausea. I estimate that I ate roughly $8 worth of the paid-in-advance $75 meal, a price which, once again, did not include sodas. I don't know what evil demonic illness possessed me, but I do feel better today. My only guess is that it was divine punishment for saying "damn" in church when I tried to take a picture of the crucifix and the flash didn't go off.

I have two sessions left for the day (or one, depending on my level of apathy). We may be going to Casino de Montreal tonight, which should be a shock to absolutely no one who has known me longer than four minutes. I'll be home early tomorrow night, after which I hope to post some pictureage of the trip.

Until next time...
Dan
