The stories of Quebec City being a piece of Europe located right here in Canada are so true. The buildings, the streets and the shops are intriguing and offer much to explore. We board a free electric shuttle that motors all through old Quebec. We venture ...

We depart mid afternoon to Toronto and catch a delayed connection to Quebec City to arrive very late Thursday evening. Our stay is at a the Hotel Chateau Laurier, a mid range full service hotel adjacent to the Military Armoury. The room is small but the price is just right. There is a St Hubert Chicken in the Hotel - this place also serves breakfast. <br><br><br>

... to cross the St Lawrence River for a north shore drive to Quebec City. Our plan was foiled, however, because the ferry was on its non-touristique schedule and did not leave until the early afternoon.

I&#8217;m not sure how this &#8220;emergency&#8221; ended up, but I&#8217;m thinking that a guide knowledgeable on local New Brunswick fauna, with access to band-aids and antibacterial cream from the first aid box, isn&#8217;t going to be her Marcus Welby, M.D. Maybe this particular American didn&#8217;t really understand what our Canadian ...

... part of the world. Unlike our previous encounters with them, they are much much approachable and friendly, esp gisli and Michael. They even share and taught us on how to use some really good tools for snow sculpting! During our sculpting at St vigilos, we were quite lucky to be their neighbors. Hence very often, when we sculpted, all the bing bang bong from our side alerted them and they seem like they were be in our recuse ...
