Bonjour!
So I figured I should fill you in on whats happened the last few days.
Wednesday we went into Quebec City to check out Old Quebec which is absolutely beautiful. My morning did not start that great when I reached into my backpack I got my finger stabbed by my name tag from work. the name tag got stuck and it was so painful I'm pretty sure it hit the bone. The man jumped quickly to the rescue though and pulled it out...and somehow I coincidently had a band aid and covered that bugger up.
We went to La Citadelle. Which is basically a British fortress (designed by a French guy) after the British conquered the area. This was to protect Canada from an American invasion (which has never happened since) It's an active military base and the Man was excited to learn that this is where 150 select Vandoos live and it's the second home for the Governor General.
We then ate lunch on the Plains of Abraham and headed into the old city to do some shopping and exploring. However my stomach decided this was a good time to have an attack which then brought on a minor panic attack but I must say I gained control pretty quickly and continued on for a nice afternoon.

Thursday was a bit of a long day we went to Canyon St. Anne where we went on a nice but tiring hike. We then went across to Iles de Orleans and checked out another chocolate factory, and fromagerie as well as some art places. We came across a pottery place where we met this woman who has beautiful stuff I fell in love with. So we bought some mugs from her. She told us she had a place in Quebec city and would be coming to the art gallery back at home in three weeks. So we will be going to see her when she comes.

Because Old Quebec is so large we went back on Friday and spent the day there shopping and admiring the beauty of it. It's very European looking I can't wait to show you more photos.

That's pretty much a summary of the last few days. I promise to post more photos but right now I cant use up any more of the Man's data plan :P
We come home tomorrow so hopefully Monday I can get some pictures up.
Bye Bye for now
