Eli “the Great”

Here’s Eli the Great! We are just about to climb “les escaliers casse-cou.” We have had a lovely day exploring old Quebec. We went to the Musee de la Civilization, and we saw an exhibit about the history of gold, history of Quebec. Sarah and Elise won the rally prize for finding trivia inside the museum. We went to a cafe and experienced some Quebecoise treats.

We arrived safely to Quebec on Sunday night. We stopped for lunch at Lake George and at Fort William Henry. The season was still pretty much pre-summer and everything there was closed. We noticed there were still many trees with no leaves, and this is just a 5 hours north of our latitude line in Pennsylvania.

We had to wait for an hour at the border to get into Canada. When it was finally our turn, they pulled us over to check we had appropriate identification and documentation. We stopped briefly to change money into the Canadian “looney.”

Interesting to note: miles turned into kilometers. Farenheit turned into celcius on all of the road signs. A good occasion for a math lesson. Click here for conversions.

Then we were on our way again and still had daylight when we arrived.

Our families picked us up promptly. I had tears of joy to see my home stay family again.
