FIRST DAY IN QUEBEC

First day in Quebec city.
We woke up, from a very great nights sleep. Our rooms are in a European style, but very nice. We sleep in bunk beds, and to compare to the States, here in these bunk beds I don't fear for my life: You know I am afraid of falling out in the the middle of the night. To compare another thing, the weather was much colder than the States. The first day, we were welcomed with rain and cold temperatures. But even though the weather was working against us, it didn't stop us from falling in love with Quebec. I can describe it this way, Quebec is a big city but it has the charm of a little European village. 

The first thing we saw was the Observatoire de Quebec, here you can see the whole city from above: It was one of the most beautiful l views I ever have seen. The view is fantastic because it's Autumn, so Quebec was covered in yellow, red, and brown, colors. The people who worked at the Observatoire had a different accent than we are used to in French class, but they spoke english very well. One of them told us about un plat Quebecois , containing french fries, a thick sauce, and some cheese, mmmm... very tasty. But he also said that is easier to eat with mayo. 

After the Observatoire, we went to see the City with our teachers as guides. But before we started, we went for some hot drinks, it was soo nice! The weather was terrible, but it didn't stop us from enjoying the city. Quebec has so many beautiful and charming small buildings, we even lost two from the class, but they had just made a wrong turn, and were found 5 min. later. ;)

In the evening we went to see a hockey game, with the local team The Remparts. There was an awesome atmosphere during the game. Everyone from the class brought t-shirts, and other souvenirs to support the Remparts. We cheered and clapped for the team :D. During the game we learned some useful words in Quebecois Francais, for example nombril it means belly button in french, we also learned the word, Baiser which is a kiss. Almost at the end of the game, they played " the final countdown" and guess who loves that song ;). In the end The Remparts won with 7-2 so of cause we had to celebrate that later on!
