More Quebec

I have posted a few new pictures at the bottom of the blog.

There is certainly a wide range of RVs and trailers around this country, and ours is one of the very very smallest. There are many that are like homes on wheels...more than 40 feet long with slideouts, laundry facilities, tv, satellite dishes...and two entrances! We are consistently dwarfed by the monsters around us.

We went into Quebec City yesterday for the evening, which is so beautiful. Narrow, European lanes with shops and restaurants...We also climbed up to the Plains of Abraham, where the fate of Canada was determined in about 45 minutes, and talked about how our parents would not likely have immigrated here if it were a French speaking country. Paul McCartney is playing a free concert here tomorrow; they are expecting 250,000 people, with busses coming from as far away as Mexico!

Well, a nice down day today, catching up on email and letting the kids play in the pool...

Love to all

Kerry

Lovely photos Kerry. Your trailer looks like what we would call a caravan. I wasn't sure whether thats what you were talking or whether you had a camper van so good to see it clarified. Thanks.
I'd love to go to Quebec city sometime. I read a lot of Kathy Reichs novels and they are set half in Quebec and half in Carolina.
Lots of love Liz
