Chuck's Trips - Burlington & Tadoussac

After enjoying a week of actual summer back in Alaska after the Oregon trip, Chuck got back on Delta and headed east for a conference (http://www.geog.umontreal.ca/gbr7/) in northern Quebec.
Flying through Montreal over Labor Day weekend presented a great chance to visit friends (the Tumilowicz's and Graber's) for a long weekend. It was a relaxing weekend involving hiking and eating. Tumor and Jen even took little 3-month-old Luke Tumilowicz along on our all-day journey up Mt. Mansfield (to the chin, for you locals).
After a weekend in Vermont (photos), it was back to Montreal and then 6 hours up the north bank of the St. Lawrence to the small village of Tadoussac (http://www.lonelyplanet.com/canada/quebec/tadoussac). The conference was a great chance to rub elbows with an international crowd of geomorphologists and experience Quebec (which in the countryside isn't really bilingual).
