Carnaval de Québec Day 3

This time we did not have to get up early, but when you were as tired as us, it sure felt early. We went down for breakfast where we were to enjoy a light meal to start off our day. There I saw something welcoming... I did not have the chance to order beef, but if I had a little more time, and money, I would have.


We packed our gear and threw it on the bus. One might think that is would be where our adventure might end but no! The bus had to be loaded as we checked out, but we did not have to depart. It was now a balmy day, much warmer than the others at -27 (feels like), so we were off and running for a few hours. At this time I managed to take a picture of Parliament, which I thought I should, since we had walked passed it so many times.


After my fantastic governmental photo op we hobbled on towards the Carnaval. I suppose its not a "we" hobbled, as my cohorts walked like regular folk, but "I" hobbled with the Tendinitis in my knee being in full swing.

The Ice Sculptures we had seen over the weekend were now completed. Judges were walking around and asking which sculptures were the best. The ones being judged at the time were based on the Provinces/Territories. I definitely voted for Alberta, which some people thought might have been a bias... I don't think so...


Past the sculptures and into the Carnaval we continued exploring to see that parts we had missed earlier. There were all sorts of fun things, one of which was a big hill... In the nature of how I live my life, which seems to be if I see something that moves try to ride it, the great rafts called to me... Oh how they called...



Dizzy, tired, and out of time we(I) hobbled back to the bus. We all hopped aboard, and began the long voyage home...
