LE CARNAVAL DE QUEBEC

Hotel Palace Royal, Quebec bracelets by Princess Pirate,  2020 Effigy pass

      In front of town Hall, we met the Carnaval mascot. PP was sliding down a snowbank, and to my everlasting shame, I was taking a picture of this statue. He walked up the steps, and asked, in French, why I was taking a picture of a statue when the real deal was in front of me! He seemed enormous, and when he hugged us to his side, he was strong! One of his two entourage companions was kind enough to take a picture. I was laughing so hard, half embarrassed, half thrilled, to have met the Bonhomme so early in the weekend, and we had two days to go!

Château Frontenac is the heart of Quebec city. Here we were Coureurs de Bois.

Snow moon, Art Deco, the Chateau, snow, with my dear PP. These are a few of my favourite things.
