3-Day Rush

Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City in three days.....is really not a good idea.

Only stayed in Ottawa for a few hours. Went to Parliament and a market thing close by. Nothing new. Been there. Done that.

Montreal. Walked around downtown a bit. Not much to see here actually. Lots of museums but we really didn't have time. The only "exciting" thing was that there was the "Festival des films du monde" and there was this large screen set up on the street just outside our hotel. Nice atmosphere.

Quebec City. Went to St. Anne Canyon, St. Anne Basilica and St. Joseph Oratory. The canyon/waterfall was pretty nice. Got some good pics. I wanted to take pics of the two churches, but for whatever reason, I always have this feeling that it's not really appropriate to take pictures inside a church. Just me.

There was one interesting (or actually, disappointing) thing that happened in Quebec City. In Old Quebec there are lots of street performers in the tourist areas. Last time I went there (2 years ago?) I wanted to buy a CD from a disabled boy who was playing the guitar. But, at the time, I couldn't remember where he was set up. This time around, we randomly did stumble to the same place. It was the same boy performing there. But...before I actually reached the place, he was already all packed up and leaving. *sigh*
