Hello PALCS Community!
Here we are as we get ready for our 12 hour journey. We passed through Lake George and stopped for lunch. The Adirondacks were just beginning to bud and bloom…about 2 weeks behind us on the Spring schedule!
Here are some of us as we began our first day of French class. We learned that it is typical in Quebec to say “bonjour“ for hello and “bonjour“ for goodbye! The food here is wonderful: the French are known for this.
In the afternoon we visited the “Observatoire de la Capitale,“ the highest point in the city of Quebec. You can see the St. Charles river in this photo, stunning panarama, and in back the Laurentides mountains…not pictured. Thanks for the good weather!
Here are two Canadian boats in the harbor of the St. Charles. (Cèst jolie).
Now this is a boardwalk! We walked for a mile along the river after French class. The building pictured is the Hotel Frontenac, one of the most picturesque hotels in the world and maybe the priciest!
This is the old historic neighborhood in Quebec. It is very touristy, and many diners are sitting outside just relaxing and enjoying life.
We visited the Parc de LÀrtillerie and had a guided tour in French. This was the site of an artillery factory, which made munitions in the 1800`s. We learned that the French women who worked in the factory were given fewer privelages than the British women.
We got to sit in the kitchen, just as the British did 400 years ago. The walls in this room are 4 feet thick. No cannon balls here!

The pictures tell it all! Everybody looks like they’re having a great time. The sights look wonderful…but skip that hotel where you have to go outside to go to the bathroom. Enjoy the mall and the party tonight. Your French is going to be excellente by the time you all return.
