Je pourrais danser avec vous toute la nuite!

Ok, now our French translation guide is coming in handy... we arrived in Quebec City late yesterday afternoon-- it is a beautiful city, and even more French-based than Montreal... we speak very little, but I was pleased that I managed to order grapefruit juice during breakfast this morning (jus de pamplemousse)!

Another highlight of this trip was the opportunity to finally see a Cirque du Soleil performance-- there was a free(!) show in the city last night, which amazed with high-flying trapeze, acrobats, and colorfully costumed characters... it continues the artistic, weird vibe that we have encountered several times on our trip--the kind of thing that seems more rare in the U.S., but here seems much more appreciated on a large scale.

We walked around the city a bit, hiking up a very steep incline to reach the outskirts of Old Quebec City. It was getting late and after the long-drive from Montreal and some shopping during the day, we didn`t last long... wè`ll head back over there today... as well as checking out a huge waterfall that we have learned about... need to keep that theme going... it`s our honeymoon after all!
