Quebec City Winter Carnaval




Here we are in the home of Bonhomme Carnaval (The Carnival Snowman)....Quebec City! What a gorgeous city and a such a fun festival! We spent 3 days exploring Old Quebec City and enjoying the annual Winter Carnaval....and yes, we actually got to meet Bonhomme himself! Highlights were: The outdoor dance party infront of Bonhomme's ice-castle, the Bain de Neige (crazy people dancing around outside in their swimsuits in a snow bath...madness), shot glasses made of ice!, the parade, the snow raft ride, pouring maple syrup in the snow and eating it, yummy food and wine, the performances, free hot chocolate and croissants, the beautiful streets and buildings of Quebec City....and of course meeting Bonhomme! The photos show all. Hugs!

YAY!I could finally make it! I tried it twice before but just failed! LAME, NE!
Anyway, Vane-chan,I just really wanted to say "Thank you for showing lots of cool places you've been to and people you've met and spent time with for us!!! I am quite sure people love and are always excited to look at those photos and read your writing like me!!!"
So I've got a question for you, is it okay for you if I attach this URL on my mixi(which is kind of Japanese Myspace)?? My friends(Of course Yasuyo and Akiko are included) in there are pretty interested in foreign culture and people so I'd like to introduce your blog to them as I think they'd love it! What do you think???
