Day 5 - December 31st. The alarm went off, and I had a decision to make. Would I go run six miles in the rain and wind, or would I have a day of exploring a city I only briefly touched on my first visit? My weather app made the decision for me.

48 Hours of Québec
It was pretty simple: there's no way we could go to New Hampshire and Vermont and NOT go into Canada.
