Quebec

< -- no-one there in the square

big ship on the river -- >



After whiling all over the place, we get on the freeway and get here. We really land on our feet with this B&B which was built in 1793. The neighbouring buildings sit right next to each other with the front doors right on the footpath. This feels like France. All the floorboards creak like crazy, but Ollie is sleeping well. We get our dose of Canadian DVD's, one on the Great North featuring the Inuit, and one on the Japanese here during WW2.

We chat with several locals at breakfast. Seems that the number one destination is Florida for Quebec and Ontario folks. They call these visitors "snow birds". One guy tells us there is a place in Florida where they all speak French and all the signs are in French for all the Quebecoise there.
