Chapter 22

With the seminar pushed back a day because South Boston NY, like many other “Snow Belt” towns and villages were still digging out from the storm, Andi and Paul made plans to take Andi’s car back to the airport and she would use Paul’s car. It was still in the garage and she hadn’t seen it yet, and all she knew was that it was a Ford product because of the keys she saw hanging on the key rack.

They started the day with a bicycle race on stationary bikes. They programed the same course on both bikes and raced, but it was soon apparent that Paul was more used to the bikes and he outpaced Andi immensely, so they stopped after a couple of minutes and picked another program. This one ran at the same time for both bikes but allowed each rider to pick their own pace, so in the end, the winner was the rider with the most mileage. The twins were in the media room watching children’s programming on the CBC, a French/English version of Sesame Street. Full of breakfast cereal and farm fresh milk, they would be locked on to a strange new version of an old favorite for at least an hour. If they found it strange that the second language being taught was French rather than Spanish, neither girl mentioned it.
