Sean's first Quebec City experience

First-year skier and king of sleeping Sean Delaney sent in a quick write-up of his first SLUSKI trip to Quebec City:

Wednesday, more commonly known as hump day, was host to the most important training session of the week: Go kart racing. This session took place far from the snowy trails and frosty pines of Foret...Instead, we traveled to the concrete jungle of Québec city, where Etown may or may not have plowed through a roadblock to get us to the venue.

Racers speeding by on course!

We split up into three groups of six and raced for ten minutes each. Kyle took home the gold with impressive control in the bends.

Afterward, we headed to the old city, where we hoped the thick walls might provide us some protection from the raging Ebola epidemic.

We didn’t see any citizens bleed from their eyes, so we went to the pub. Our luck would inevitably run out at some point, so we left after burgers for dinner...but the iconic American McDonalds sign lured us in for McFlurries on our trek back to the bus and van. We realized this to be a slight mistake as an ice-cold gale blew in from the north and threatened to blacken the fingers of our McFlurry-holding hands. Slizzerd was especially vulnerable to the biting cold due to her bold decision to double-fist the McFlurries. 

I should not be relied upon for an account of the night after we returned to the bus, because I saw a golden opportunity for a nap.
