Trip to Quebec City

Hi, everyone.
Today I would like to tell you about the trip to Quebec City!
As I talked about the trip in Canada last time, Quebec City was one of the city we visited, and the best of all three city we visited this time.
Quebec City was small, but roads were complicated. The weather was much more colder than Toronto, Montreal and Winnipeg.
We stayed 3days there. It took 2 hours from Montreal to Quebec City by bus. After we got to our hotel( more likely apartment it was!), we went around the city using map. The city was beautiful because of the buildings and lights. When we arrived in front of Formant Le Chateau Frontenac, which is an old and beautiful hotel, we found a big slide! That tickled our curiosity:D We quickly get a sleigh, we did it!!!! I have never tried such a long ice slide. We run through a cold wind with exciting screams. It was so much fun.



We saw beautiful St. Lawrence River, took a lot of pictures. Next day, we went to a group tour. While we went around the city, the tour guide told us history, recommending place and restaurant. We also went to the Citadel, which is a fortress. We met wonderful man and wife there, they were very kind and humorous. We were surprised that the couple were from 2hours far by car from Winnipeg, and were graduated from U of M:)
The last day, we went shopping and ate maple candies that ware sold on the snow. I thought I experienced the Canadian culture! because I cannot taste them in Japan.
The very last day, we went skiing! This is what we really wanted to do in Canada. We have many ski resort in Japan, however, I really wanted to slide on the Canadian snow! The day was beautiful! but it was so cold. We bought googles, and neck warmer. I felt froze but really enjoyed.
If you have opportunity to trip in Canada, I recommend you Quebec City!:)
