Mont Marency Falls Quebec











these falls are thirty metres taller than Niagara falls - with a million less tourists






it was bloody freezing!









So our time with joel and kel has gone by too fast, as good times are want to do.


We had an amazing time and i have to say how much I LOVED having family here (take note the rest of you - you will be entertained and well fed!) First stop on our trip was Quebec, the first continually settled mainland North American town (over 400 years ago!). It is gorgeous! The old town in particular was like being in a European city and of course to us Aussies, with the main language being French everything sounded foreign and tres chic. Peter being a local was fluent and acted as our translator, though most everywhere people spoke both English and french. We hit the citadelle, St Anne du beaupre, ate at Le Cochon Digne (the dignified pig - we didn't feel very dignified afterwards but we felt piggish!) They had a desert called "tarte au sucre" - sugar pie!!!!!!! wtf!!! it was literally pastry and sugar (i'm sure with butter and cream mixed in) and according to Peter "it was good?!" Joel and Kelly found it quite good too. More snaps/commentary to come.
