Carnival

Dimanche matin, Kelly, Tina et moi-même, ont rendu dans mon voiture et ont a partie sur un aventure. (On Sunday morning Kelly, Tina and myself got into my car and left on an adventure.

Carnival in Quebec City was waiting for us!!!

After a three hour car ride we arrived at our destination. We checked into our beautiful and quaint hotel room, which had a brick wall, then headed out to join the festivities. Walking around the site was challenging, with the combination of snow, slush, hills and many, many, many people. We managed to see a lot of what Carnival had to offer.

Walking around I got to watch parents pull their very young children around on little sleighs, adults zip line above the festivities and adults and children alike play in a game of human fooseball! Truly an entertaining experience.

From Carnival we walked around Old Quebec, which is a sight to see. The buildings are so old and cute. I love walking around and looking at the old stone houses all stuck together which have now been turned into hotels, like the one we stayed at, and restaurants, like the one we had breakfast at, and shops of various varieties AND who can forget pubs- like the one we stopped to have a drink at after dinner. We saw the Guinness sign and walked into the very busy pub... it was super-bowl. We made some friends, watched the end of the game and then walked our butts back up the hill to bed.

Monday morning was breakfast, some more sight seeing and a tube ride down the hill at Carnival before heading back to Montreal. Overall this trip was a major success! We laughed and ate and played and just enjoyed each other's company. Here's the video of the events, should you wish to view it!
