Day 3!

Well, we are still all safe and sound but last night was a tad difficult.  We had a great dance cruise- the kids had a blast and it was a great ride up and down the St. Lawrence.  The parents and I sat at the very top of the cruise ship watching sail boats go by  as the sun set over the horizon.  If it weren't for 75 mile an hour winds it would have been a perfect setting.  Despite the winds, the kids had fun dancing but many kids looked pretty tired.  After that, we walked from lower town, straight to upper town -about 150m straight up- kids loved it!  We still had the winds and the temperature was dropping and we still hadn't had supper.  We decided to call our bus driver and go get something to eat outside of the downtown core- a bit of a mistake.  We found a Tim's, McDonald's and Burger King but because it was outside the city, all the restaurants were working with a Skeleton crew.  They weren't too happy to see 250 kids.  One manager was screaming his head off at me because the kids were lined up out the door!  We figured it all out, got the kids fed and managed to get them to bed at a decent time.  Today we are in the lower town doing some tours as well as the governor general's mansion and the citadel.  Should be lots of fun but there are some tired kids today!!!!!!!!!!  

Look for a post later tonight!

Ciao!
