Le Petit Quartier

We brought Kizmet into town today. Our first stop was the Petit Quartier, which we had come across the day before. They certainly had some cool shops along the way. Most of the clothes were really expensive, but Mum and I came across this really big store filled with cool house accessories, including Mason jars with handles, which I love. They were even blue. For lunch, we stopped at a little café where I ordered a cappuccino in a bowl. After that, I am never having two coffees in the same amount of hours. Vibrating is not fun. The boys joined us right after we ordered. They’d been down getting iced cream. After Mum finished her lunch we walked back a little so I could go in a jewelry store to buy some earrings, since I’d forgotten all of mine at home. I ended up with fourteen new pairs. Now I’m going to get new piercings hopefully. It will be painful, hooray. Then we drove over to our area we’d parked in the day before so we could go to Martello Tower 1, which has a little museum inside it. We got the audio tour and Isaac and I went first. We listened to most of it, but

it got a little repetitive, so we ended it before we finished the whole thing. It was pretty interesting to learn about how the soldiers had lived in the towers a hundred and fifty plus years ago. Now I know how to load and fire both a musket and a canon, skills which I never will need or thought I would have, but cool nonetheless. Isaac and I hung out with Kizmet whilst our parents took their tour and then we continued on our merry way down to one section of Vieux Québec right next to the Chateau Frontenac. We stopped for another snack, but I wasn’t hungry so I just ordered a lemonade and then wandered around the area, looking in shops. The one store was covered in very expensive, very beautiful Turkish lamps and Indian rugs. After the others had finished eating we walked back the way we came and spent some time on the grounds of the Quebec Parliament Buildings, which are great. The gardens are filled with useful plants, like herbs, fruits and vegetables. You can even pick some of the them for yourself. The facade is covered in statues of important historical figures, like Jacques Cartier and Montcalm. Most of them were French, of course. Then we headed back to the trailer to spend the rest of the night in. Peace out m8s.
