Quebec 29-30 November 08

Last weekend we visited Quebec city (& Lac Beauport) and enjoyed a very relaxing weekend with Matthew, Dominique and their kids. But not only that, by accident Kathi and Eike (our German friends in Toronto) were also in the City, so we met them for a late lunch in town.

Quebec is a very nice litte European looking city.The city itself is definitly different in comparison to the rest of Canada (or what we have seen so far...). The language (French), steep, narrow streets, and old buildings leaves a comfy impression. As we learned, the old city is basically divided into two parts – the upper town and the lower town.
After walking around, we headed for the Château Frontenac, the hotel that dominates the city skyline. We decided for a drink inside because it was very cold, but unfortunatly we weren´t allowed because of the kids (they were sleeping in the trolley!). In general one is not allowed to rest in a bar with children....???!!!!!!!
When we stepped outside again Matthew and I had a Maple lolly, They pour hot maple syrup on the snow and you roll it up on a stick like a lolly....see here.


Afterwards we met Eike and Kathi, we all decided for a late lunch in the nearest Restaurant...because of the "freezing factor."



After lunch, we walked down to the old city. while having a snowball-fight :-) we enjoyed nice Christmas lightnings and went back to the parking place to drive home to their house, to enjoy a warm and cozy evening in front of the open fire place.....
On Sunday we had to go back at around lunchtime...before that we went out for a walk and tried the sledge in the snow.
Thanks to Family Kowalczyk for the wonderful weekend in Quebec..!!!!!
