Boro on his e-bike cargo bike with his one half year old son, Manny ( nick name for Manalow) and I on my bike rode to the day care. His cargo bike had a special enclosed cab for his son with protection frame, safety seat and canvas surround, quite the setup. Afterwards Boro who works on helping the homeless ( and Maude as a mid-wife) had to punch in and I headed on my bike to take in the city. First, off to the bus station to secure my bike ticket having brought the plastic bag for it from before. Not having a firm grasp of the language and the bus employees knowing very little english made the process a big frustrating. After conquering that obstacle it was off to get a look see of historic lower Quebec and visit the Museum Civilization. After over four hours of absorbing the city’s history, culture and sites I returned to 49 Chateauquay for a tall beer and nap. Boro told me of a neighborhood party at a nearby park so I changed and walked over to the event. At least three hundred people, loads of children like I had not seen in years. Music, food vendors with delicious local casual cuisine; the local craft beer was an added bonus. Craving some dessert Boro, Maude, the two enfants in a double wide stroller and I sloughed our way up to upper Quebec City to a very special ice cream parlor, my treat. By then I felt very much part of the family. Manny/Milo and I were hitting it off, me as the phony uncle. He reached up for me to pick him up, a real treat for me. Back hone we called it a day.
