4:00 PM

Today we acted like a couple of tourists, driving along the back roads and visiting small villages. The countryside is beautiful with small farms, old barns, heritage buildings and even a covered bridge. We had lunch in an Inn that has been operating since 1851 (3rd photo below).

I also bought a book on the history of the Quebec Central Railway. I did not even know there once was such a railway.

7:10 PM Puzzles

I have been slowly improving my playing of Go. Today I reached Level 10 and then Level 11, both for the first time. I am beginning to play a little less conservatively and continue to look for opportunities to either cut the opposition stones or to join my own.
