Going Home

I am on my way back to New Orleans today. Scott is staying on until Wednesday so he drove me to Burlington, VT today and now I am at JFK where I have a three hour layover. Since my plane does not begin boarding for another 2 hours and they have free wi-fi I thought I would make an update. Friday I spent most of the day touring the city on the Metro to get back to places I had seen through the week that would be good for shopping. I did not have the money or the want to do much shopping but I wanted to get a few special things for people back home so I went all over exploring the quirky areas of town to get a few good things. Also, on Friday I went back to the library and took their self-guided audio tour. It was free and if you love books or libraries it was well worth the time. The Quebec National Archives has the largest collection of French books in the french speaking world and in the 1970's a law was passed that every time published in Quebec had to be giving in douplicate for free to this library so they could have one copy to circulate and one to archive. It has 6 floors with one dedicated entirly to children. If we lived here I would definately have a card to this library. The stairs down to the Children's floor are shorter for shorter legs with a lower handrail and they have viewing areas where children and watch educational children's movies (picture # 1). It was pretty cool. Picture # 2 is of a display that as far as I could tell is for the French Incredible Hulk or something similer.
