Old Quebec

Today we went to old Quebec, and it was great, we got to see all sorts of sites in the only fortified city north of Mexico on north america. There was a ferry ride across the st. Lawrence river which was nice and short (interesting fact Ontario was called upper Canada even though it was south of Quebec which was lower Canada, this was because their names were based on their position along the st. Lawrence river, yeah socials class). Once we were off the ferry we got lost almost immediately, with mom trying to lead us around with a guide book but never finding an appropriate land mark. Eventually we went to the information center and tried using a new guide book that was the exact same except no one stole the map from this one, and we left on the walking but as it turns out from the wrong point (apparently there were two info stations). When we were in old Quebec we found that it seemed like we were in Europe again, a different country depending on the musician that was near by, apparently there is a huge music festival all weekend. It was nice to walk on cobble stone listening to Italian harp music and pan flutes, with bagpipes around every corner. We got to see a few monuments, even though we were lost, and we walked through/over the fields of Abraham, which apparently isn't a biblical reference. Blog to ya soon, if I don't get to stressed.
