To Quebec City Aug 13
The trip from Montreal to Quebec City
was a marvelous one, for a number of reasons. We were able to take in
some wonderful sights, most notable being a large waterfall which
cascaded down the side of a rather large cliff. We were able to
take some time to walkabout and get some good snaps of the waterfall
from a staircase which had been erected beside it. However, for a
number of the people on the bus, a major highlight was the fact that
this bus trip allowed them (myself included) some extra nap-time to
recuperate from the activities that the Montreal night-life extended to
us the previous evening, as well as to partake in a near-mandatory game
of euchre (a game quickly growing in popularity amongst the youngest
of us lions). After we had arrived in our hotel, we were able to use
the rest of the day to explore the city. It would seem that many of us
opted to revel in the sights of the oldest part of the oldest city in
North America, that being Old Quebec. Here is a place in which
culture has run amuck. Ripe with murals, street performers, old
builidings, legends, creperies, old buildings, cannons, sugar pie,
maple anything, and old buildings, it would seem that one day of
exploration would only allow us to catch a thin glimpse of life here.
The food here has been quite good, and if you find the right hole in
the wall you will be able to find some very impressive Quebecois
performers. It really is a shame that out west we are so cut-off from
the culture of Quebec. The closest we get is being able to read our
cereal boxes in both French and English . . .
Another day, another crepe breakfast. Au revoir, from Quebec.
