Daniela Hantuchova's Quebec Blog: Wednesday

Hello again from Quebec...
I didn't have a match today. I practiced in the morning and got everything
done, then we got to enjoy the city in the afternoon, including getting my
favorite: crepes with nutella :) We just came back from dinner and now I'm just
relaxing.
We went to the same place for dinner - being as superstitious as I am, we have
to! For a few nights in a row I had pasta with seafood, and tiramisu every
night too. Tonight I had the salmon. The food is excellent here. Of course the
crepes are fantastic... I'm hoping to try the fondue soon. My mom is loving it
here. There are so many things downtown - art galleries, little local stores.
It reminds us a lot of Monte Carlo here...
You can already feel the autumn coming, I can't believe summer is almost over.
It feels like just a little while ago we were in Stanford and the summer was
starting. It's over already! The weather is holding up nicely here considering
it's September. I can't imagine how cold it'll be in the winter here!
Thursday is going to be a very sad day for Slovakia, because it's the funeral
for Pavol Demitra, the former captain of the Slovak national hockey team who
was killed in the recent Russian plane crash. He was our biggest hero in
Slovakia, one of our greatest athletes of all time. This summer he said goodbye
to us from the national team, and now unfortunately we are having to say
goodbye to him. It was a terrible tragedy. He and all those who died that day
will be missed...
I'm just getting ready to sleep but I will talk to you again tomorrow after my
match. I'm looking forward to it - I will do my best as always.
Love, Dani
Your calendar was wonderful, will there be a 2012 one? Mehdy, Iran
Oh yes - we did the shoot after Wimbledon in Monte Carlo. It was a different
experience from last year but it went great, and the team was fantastic again.
We had a lot of fun doing it. It will be out within a month. And once again,
everything will be going to a charity I've supported for a long time, the House
Of The Smile in Cambodia, for children suffering from HIV. I didn't feel like
it was a commitment - it was something I really wanted to do. I'm very excited
about it!

What music are you listening to right now? Svein, Norway
I have my iPod right in front of me, let me browse through! Okay... Lady Gaga,
Edge of Glory... One Republic, Good Life... Maroon 5, Moves Like Jagger... and
also Beyonce, Best Thing I Never Had. Those are just a few!
How many racquets and shoes do you go through every year, and what do you do
with all of the old ones? Ben, USA
I usually send my old things to charity, and sometimes my racquets to friends
or whoever wants to use them. How many of them do I go through, let me think...
probably 20 to 25 racquets a year, and the same for shoes!
What is it about Italy that you like so much? Jaime, Spain
Good question! I first went to Italy when I was 12, and I fell in love with it.
I've always felt like I belong there - that feeling has never changed. The
food, the people, the atmosphere... I just feel very comfortable there. I feel
like I'm at home. I have so many great memories there. And their whole
approach to life is just enjoying every moment, which I feel really connected
to.
