After hours of driving, we have finally reached our second destination, Quebec City.

Still driving in our rented car, we drove to a comfortable hotel known as Hôtel Quartier. The best thing about the hotel is that is has an indoor pool, with a hot tub. But, before we could leave to go swimming we had to eat some food, to feed our hungry stomachs. We left our hotel and drove to a restaurant, known as Casa Grecque, recommended from a friend. The restaurant serves nothing but Greek food, and boy, was the food ever tasty. After our food had time to digest, it was time to hit the pool and swim, but the pool was closed, so we decided to watch a movie in our room. Seeing as we were in Quebec City, all the movies where french movies with English subtitles, so we just went to bed.

During our stay, we visited the Village Vacances Valcartier, the largest water park in all of North America. With over 20 water slides, my family and I were constantly running from slide to slide. When we got back to the hotel, we fell asleep as soon as we hit the beds. The next couple of days we visited some museums, one of the museums was called Musée de la civilisation. It was a museum based on civilization, but unlike any kind of museum, this one was different. The museum had activities that we could do and it allowed us to interact with the exhibits, which to me, was very cool.

Before we left Quebec City, we stopped at d'Arbre en Arbre Duchesnay. This is a place to climb and walk from tree top to tree top. My mom chickened out because of how high you were from above the ground, but she didn't know what she was missing. The view was beautiful, you could see the birds nests below in the tree branches, and the squirrels poking their heads out of the holes deep into the tree trunks.

Quebec City was a lot fun, but i just can't wait to get to Calgary.
