November Seventh, 2006
-I woke up at the crack of frickin' dawn, to get on a plain in Philly. Well, Mother didn't think she'd need her birth certificate, just a photo ID. Not true apparantly. Well, for anyone who wants to go on a trip involving a plane, remember to bring your Birth Certificate. We had to have Markis drive it over...Needless to say, we made it on the plane to Toronto.
-We landed in Toronto....
That's Toronto from the plane, I was into pictures...So I took a bunch. Well, we landed in Toronto where we saw a bunch of people wearing little red poppies on their jackets, and shirts. They were for Rememberance Day Lest We Forget it said so on the TV. We went to go eat then, at an Airline Restaurant called the Exchange Cafe`. I had a Fajita Burrito...it was the best burrito I have ever eaten. I totally recommend it.-Then we went to Terminal D shoot thing 713, and sat for a while. Then, our flight was moved to Terminal D shoot thing 712...which was right next door.Like, one side of the velvet rope was 712, and the other side was 713...It was a pretty easy jump. So, we got on that plane and flew to Quebec.
-We landed, found all of our luggage, and got a rental car. It was an Excursian....or something...Some minivan/soccer mom car. Of course, we should have discovered something was up when the woman said, "I'm sorry, we've only got minivans, are you sure you want one?" We said, "Oh yes!" Yeah, we hoped on that one like a hobo on a ham sandwhich.
-We drove to the hotel, where I learned that the French I took in Highschool didn't help me at all. I could point to things that were written down outside the van, but listening to the French stuff on the radio....Allez Viens... has failed me, yet again! So, we drove down into the parking area, and discovered that it was meant for regular cars...and little SmartCars...NOT Mini vans....
-We parked without fail though, got our stuff out of the van, and went to our room, 307. By then it was around two? Maybe. We decided on an early dinner, and ate the hotel's restaurant, La Serre. Our waitress's name was Suzie. Very nice lady. Made us laugh, and laughed at us. We liked her. Then, we retired to our room, and went to sleep.
November Eighth, 2006
-We woke up at 9 AM...Why? I have no idea, we just did. On the eighth, we took a tour of the city of Quebec. Actually, it was our wander around and explore day. We did just that.
-We changed our money at some exchange place, and then went into the little art shop that was next door. I bought some post cards that I thought were amazing. Some guy painted them, an artist i have deemed as my favorite. He does with paints, what Onyx does with ink. Her little elf people...Yeah, totally remind me of this guy. When I find the post cards, I will put a link to the guy's art, and then show you what card I bought.
-We wondered some more after that, and did a tour of the history of Quebec...Sort of. It was the stuff from the last fifty or so years, and the stuff that archeologists found when they dug some things up. I thought it was interesting, but I didn't have the camera.. So, we left there, and walked through a church, saw some guy's memorial..He was very important, and for the love of me, I can't remember his name. Oh well, I'll find it later.
That's the Church.Then we walked for a long time, and saw a bunch of Frenchy-Quebec children getting out of school, to get on another bus to go to their homes. Then we got lost, and discovered a wax museum. It was pretty amazing. The people looked so life-like...Especially this scary old woman, she was supposed to be the onewho invented some sort of machine.....Scariest thing ever. There was a mirror, and she was looking down, and if you stood at just the right angle, you could picture her head moving and her eyes capturing your soul, leaving your empty shell body to become one with the wax people. Very scary old lady.
-Then we left, and ordered pizza back at the hotel. Yeah Americans! Ordering PIzza in Canadia! Woo!
-All in all, the day was
November Ninth, 2006
-We woke up at nine in the morning again...Still don't know why....But we did. We got dressed, and ate at Le Serre for breakfast with Suzie. Nice lady, we liked her.
-Then we went to the museum...They had a Picasso Gallery...stuff from the Louvre was there, it was pretty awesome. My favrote bits though, was The Unicorn Rooster, and some guy who loved geese...whoe fell in love with a woman who loved geese. Then she died, and he spray painted dead geese on, like, 300 feet of canvas. Every 10x10 foot was a different thing though. One 10x10 would be spreayed with red and black, and have geese, and crow bodies, with nails, and bolts around them, the next would be sprayed with green and black and have geese, and knives, and scissors...anything the guy could grab around his workplace, he'd encorporate into the art. It was an 'Ode-' to some woman. Amazing. Here's some things I took pictures of outside the museum...over a gaurd-rock...
-Then we walked around the whole of old Quebec city. It really did look like Philedelphia.....I didn't understand why, but we did. Then we ate at Portofnio's....Super awesome soup there.....
-Then we walked around, chilled at the hotel for a bit, went swimming in the Pool Area, got cleaned up, went to some corner restaurant, and had the best Cesear Salad in the world, then went to bed.
November Tenth, 2006
-We woke up at 9 o'clock in the morning, and scheuled a tour for that day.
-Well, we got to the tour place, and got ready to begin with Stephanie. She was nice, but frail looking. So, we got the tour of Quebec, and alot of good pictures. I'm only going to show you the best ones, I think...Oh, and most of the pictures I take tend to be on angles, I hope you get used to that...
All of those are the same place. The building is now a hotel where countless famous people have been. 'Mr. Clinton', 'Mr. Kennedy', and a couple movie people.....
Sibling thought this next was was interesting......
She thought 'Mount Carmel' was funny...So I took a picture.....
This next one is awesome....Mother took it.....
That cannon was fired a long time again, and the tree grew around it......the tree is here:
See? There's the nifty tree on the left-hand-side of the picture...... Rue du Corps-De-Garde, that literally translates to Road any Body About Custody, so, have fun with that....
The top one is a hand an a leaf...I don't remember what it's supposed to stand for, but I remember it has to do something with nuns.....
The bottom one is a Jester....It really didn't have any back story..It was just kinda, well...there...
Then there's these guys...
I hope ya'll aren't bored yet.......becuase we've just finished the tenth....
We thought the tour was one hour long...then it prolonged an hour and went to two, so we were all 'oh, it must've been a two hour tour, not a one hour to- what's that? Three hours?!' Yeah..it was super cold on the tenth.
November Eleventh, 2006
-I bet you could guess what time we woke up....Nine o'clock....o alarms, it just sorta happened...
-We drove around alot, all across what I called 'West Egg', but was really called Isle D'Orleans. Very pretty island. We got lost on it.
-Before we got there, however, we went to a Winery, and got two bottles. One for us, and one for Father's friend...the one who drove us, and our crap to the airport. Very tasty wine...
-Next we went to a....Duckery....That was pretty cool...I had some pate on a piece of bread..It tasted like Roast beef, so it wasn't too bad. Then there was this chocolate...it really is best served at room temperature. Made from duck fat, and cocoa...no other fakey-chocolate things.
-Then we drove to the Cheesery...We were dissapointed, and left....
Then we drove to the chocolatery...That was pretty good, but at that point we were tired and annoyed that we couldn't get off out of this little cage of a town. We got 15 pieces of chocolate, which Sibling and I are still eating...
-Then we went to West Egg.......and I took some awesome pictures of grey things...for it was misting that day.....
This is the bridge from Quebec to Isle D'Orleans
That is the nifty waterfull that looks so much bigger on the cartoon map than it does in real life.
This a a picture of a tree, and some water....I thought it was a good shot.....
This one I playfully call 'The Drop'....Well, you can see why...It's a long fall down.....-And then, we went back to the hotel, and packed......after a final dinner at La Serre
November Twelth, 2006
-Woke up at, HA! Not nine in the morning, you loser! What? Did you think we had a pattern?! No, we woke up at 4:30; psh, wake up at nine..no way.....4:30 AM baby!
-Got rid of our room keys, got in the minivan, drove to the airport, waited without breakfast.....Well, now ,what did we have?yeah, no, we didn't have breakfast....then we got on the plane, and flew to toronto....I have some pictures of sky for you.....
Did you think the clouds stopped at where you couldn't see anymore? Well no way buster brown! Those clouds have more cloud layers above the clouds layers you can see! Look, I've got proof!!
This is just a good shot, see, look, there's the sun....It's so much bigger when you're 13,000 feet above the earth.....
Lookit! The wing! The wing!
And now, we've got ripples...See?
Look at them....
Look at them!!!
And then...We landed in Toronto, and they were all 'Hi, welcome to Tornoto- What? Going to America -heh- Now, get out'
So, we did...And this was our plane to get home....
And then we got him. It was all a bunch of fantasticness.
I had lots of fun in Canada...oh, here's a nifty tid bit too...they had this battle, and lost within twenty minutes....That's less than the length of time a 1/2 hour tv show without commercials is....
Now, I'm glad you enjoyed the ride....-heh- Now go home....
