Tour-of-the-Day

We went for the French-Canada tour by ISX (4 days and 3 nights). Our tour guide was Ari and our driver was Tony! Everyone speaks French in these areas. Shall not describe much.. See for yourself... All I have to say is that.. I enjoyed myself and I'm in love with Quebec!

1000 Islands (Boat Cruise)...

US land (you need to clear customs to get onto this island).
The island was shaped into a heart and built by someone..
For his lover.
He then built a castle on it.

There's many islands as such. Hence, 1000 Islands.
FYI, it has nothing to do with the salad dressing.

Quebec...

Crepe stuffed with asparagus, MUSHrooms and cheese.
Yummylicious.

Dinner at some French restaurant.
Spicy Italian sausages.

ESCARGOT... (",)

They were celebrating the French Festival!
So many people were dressed like that!

At the old fort (still in operation).

Typical French houses and roofs!

Montmorency Falls (100 ft tall).

A real cannonball stuck in the tree.
From the last battle between the French and the English.

The fountain with naked figures (rare in Canada).
6 weeks old and donated by some rich fella.

Dinner at a fine French Restaurant.
Deer meat for my main dish and rabbit meat for my entree.
Not long ago, I said I tasted the best pasta..
Now make that 2nd best.. this is better!

The gate into Old Quebec.

These artists are talented. Fantabulous.

Ottawa...

Groundhog!!!
Cute and unafraid of humans.

The flame that NEVER extinguishes.
It's been burning for hundreds of years.

Parliament building.
Most buildings have a green roof like that.
The green colour is due to copper roofs that got oxidized.

A&W Rootbeer Float!!! FINALLY!

Montreal...Poutine - Fries with gravy and cheese.

The famous Notre Dame (Catholic).

They're gonna have a NASCAR race here soon.
Did I mention Cirque de Soleil originates and trains in Montreal?

St Joseph's Church (Catholic).
Quebec is the only place in Canada that has a religion,
i.e. Catholic.

Everyone in the hotel got evacuated.
First time I had to evacuate the building, eggciting!!!
4 fire engines came, loaded with firemen!
Rumor has it that some fella was steaming clothes in the room.

Liver entree for me... Cow liver...
Smoked meat sandwich with Montreal seasoning - famous.

Hebrew food.
