We just spent a really fun weekend in Quebec City, Canada. In Quebec they speak French and English, but French is their first language. It was kind of weird to be someplace where they speak a different language.

Tyler and I stayed in a bed & breakfast for the first time in Quebec. There were two queen-sized beds that were comfortable and a little table for us to eat our breakfast at. When I woke up in the morning, I would go downstairs to get breakfast. One morning, I got breakfast for my Dad and Tyler too. I was going up and down the stairs a lot. For breakfast they gave us croissants (which Mommy said was very French), apples, bananas, hot chocolate and tang. As for the food, I've had pizza in EVERY place we've been so far. Quebec's pizza was the best so far.

Hello once again, people of distant computers. I'm excited to tell you about the most recent stop on our trip, Quebec City, Canada.

Quebec was the first, non-American city, and coincidentally, we stopped there the same week they were celebrating their 400th anniversary. They had lots of street performers, a music festival and all types of other fun stuff. Also in Canada, they have an Indian tribe called the Inuit and all throughout Quebec they have stores that sell things the made by the Inuits, like carvings, hats, trinkets and mini totem poles. I really liked the stone carvings and I bought a traditional medicine bag with special items in it, like a small carved turquoise turtle that is supposed to bring me luck.

About the street performers I mentioned earlier, they were the most amazing people there (in my opinion). There were magicians, musicians, jugglers, stilt walkers and moving statues (now all we need is a bearded lady!).

Here's a picture of me with one of the moving statues:
