Day 53, Monday 16 July 2007 - Quebec Today we ventured into 'Old Quebec', which is an absolutely gorgeous little part of this city. New Quebec apparently isn't much newer than old Quebec, but this part is just so pretty and quaint, plus really clean, its great to wander about. We first booked a 2.5 hour walking tour of the area, as well as a 1.5 hour cruise up the St Laurence River. We had time for breakfast before the walking tour, so went to this pretty little cafe across from a pretty little park and ordered the most divine [View Full Entry]

I'll try to keep this short ish. I have been in Québec for 7.5 weeks already, time flies! So I arrived in Québec in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu and spent a week with the relatives, spent time with my cousins, went out for sushi and things like that. It was all good fun and was great to get to know some of my cousins better. A week later, my friend Martine came to pick me up to bring me back to L'Ancienne-Lorette, close to Québec City. I spent 5 days getting to know my old friends again after a short 5 years a [View Full Entry]

Hi Everyone, Following Sarah's lead, Ive decided to keep a diary while Im gone so everyone who is interested can check out what Im doing. Its also a place I can put pictures for everyone to see, including those non facebookers. So I obviously have arrived in Laval safely. Getting here was a bit of a challenge, having to pay ridiculous amounts of money for overpacked luggage and leaving an entire suitcase behind to avoid more fees. But I did make it! The first few days have definatly been a roller coaster. The first day we got here, I was [View Full Entry]

UntitledSo I have come to somewhat understand the term Quebecois. Quebecois are the people, culture, history, language, food, art, architecture, and much more, which make up the province of Quebec. As some have said, like the professor who presented to the group today, Canada started here in Quebec. And while many may disagree with this statement, there is historical fact to support this idea. Moreover, I have truly seen the importance that language plays into maintaining a person(s) identity and culture. The people of this area do not maintain French as a way of separation, but instead maintain it as [View Full Entry]

Quebec CityI woke up this morning at 6:45 and headed for the airport to fly from Ottawa to Quebec City. The plane I rode in was extremely small, and in fact was a propeller plane. After a noisy flight we arrived in Quebec City. We checked into our hotel and then had a guided tour of the city. Quebec City is like a town. The amazing part is I keep thinking I am in France. Everything is written in French, all of the people only speak French and all of the stores are in French. Much of the city dates [View Full Entry]

On to Quebec...Today was another travel day. We flew from Ottawa to Quebec City. Quebec has a completely different feel than Ottawa. It is a bilingual city where French and English are spoken equally. We took a walking tour of the city to get the general feel. The highlight of the day was the Fourth of July party thrown by the U.S. Consul General to Quebec. We went to a minor league baseball stadium, ate charred hot dog panini's, popcorn, potato chips, and cake. It was an all-American attempt. The evening never really got underway though as it started pouring [View Full Entry]

Salut! So, I am here in Quebec City, about ready to go! I was planning to leave yesterday, but was convinced to stay one more night for some hanging out with my couchsurfing host, a moto ride with Andrienne through the mountains north of Quebec (specifically the 371 provincial road!!), and a date with Vanessa in Old Quebec. So now I have a million miles to go before I get to CT and it will be a long long looooooonng day today. However, I am very much looking forward to taking a state highway (201) through the best uninhabited parts of [View Full Entry]
