Quebec Travel Blogs

Background: A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Canada's paramount political problem is meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services after a decade of budget cuts. The issue of reconciling Quebec's francophone heritage with the majority anglophone Canadian population has moved to the back burner in recent years; support for separatism abated after the Quebec government's referendum on independence failed to pass in October of 1995.

Lucy's crash

So, day one in Quebec City was one of my favourite days yet. We woke at around 7am in time to have breakfast and leave for the slopes. The breakfast was free, included in the hostel so Lucy and I took FULL advantage! We had toast which was made less boring by the fact that to cook it we had to use one of those foreign balance your bread on a rotating toaster things! We also had cereal, a bagel, a muffin, fruit, tea and orange juice. We got to the slopes and were a little worried as the weather was [View Full Entry]

J'adore Montreal

North America » Canada » Quebec » Montréal

Religious Celebration- McGill Uni
Bij, Gunth, AK, Myself. The boys- March 06

Most of these pictures are from a gatherin of friends in Montreal last march. I have been to Montreal about 20+ times in the past 3.5 years so there may be some pictures from then. Montreal is a beautiful, lively city with somethign to do at any hour. The clubs are great, shopping is amazing, but the people are bit hard to understand. Their dialect of French is even hard for me, and I've been speaking french for 13 years. The winter's are freezing, for those of you who don't know. I am from Calgary, and we have it good compared [View Full Entry]

Montreal

So, now onto stage 2 of Mission get Amy around the world! I managed to get myself to the airport on time leaving new york at 5:30am to make the train to Newark. Poor Pat had to lug my big pack pack across the city for me as I didn't have the strength with this flu! I got myself checked in and got selected for a random search at customs! They took swabs from my bags and shoes and put them through a machine, also had a body search-was a little scared! I got to Toronto airport and it was absolutely [View Full Entry]

Gorgeous Montreal in winter

I am privileged to be posting this journal from Canada while enjoying my first visit to this wonderful country. While on the road Canadians have always held a special place in my heart, I believe they share with Australians a spirit of fun and adventure which has made them excellent travel companions during many overseas trips. Now I'm pleased to report I can finally dispense with the worn out travellers line ... I would love to visit your country. Here I am and very glad to be in the country that was narrowly beaten into third position in the recently completed [View Full Entry]

Finally John let me write...

North America » Canada » Quebec » Montréal

Finally John is letting me write an e-mail entry. Unfortunatly he has said everything we have done thus far so there is not much more i can say really. So far iim having a fantastic time. Every town i go to i have to remind myself where i am. Its going to be hard getting home and back to work when at the moment my day consists mainly of waking up, eating breakfast, walking to we find a pub, and staying there till it closes or we get kicked out. So far my favorite places have been San Diego, Memphis, and [View Full Entry]

In cold Montreal

North America » Canada » Quebec » Montréal

Another frozen lake
I had no skates on this time :/

Hey all you travel junkies and invisable friends out there. I have been here in good old Montreal for a few days now and damnit it is cold! Good thing this favourite city of mine has an underground city! Take that mother nature! Nothing like wandering around under the earth looking at lots of things I cannot afford, all while laughing at the poor suckers up a few metres freezing their butts off. Then I cry when it is my turn to venture out into the brave new world and walk back to the hostel. I swear Montreal is one of [View Full Entry]
