Oh Canada, Oh Canada!

So we have now arrived to Montreal. The trip so far has been really smooth and we have not gotten lost. We started the trip in Manchaster, New Hampshire which we flew into Saturday. We drove along the coast up to Portland, Maine where we spent the first night. It was such a scenic drive along 1-A. Posh eastcoast houses, cliffs and lots of lobster shacks. We did end up going to Old Orchard Beach on Saturday night. It was a Pier/Carneval set up on the beach. We had Coronas and Red Stripe beers and felt like we were somewhere in the carribean. Sunday we started the drive up the mountains to Canada. It was such a beautiful drive. We drove to Quebec city which we spend 2 full nights. If you have not been to Quebec city, you have to go. It is a beautiful old walled city and many of the hotels look like castles. I am a princess so I of course felt at home right away. It really felt like an old European city. We ate lots of good food, walked .. walked some more. I was really amazed by how "French" Quebec really is.. I was thinking that it wouldn't be such a big difference from US, but first of all everything is in French.. road signs, radio channels, tv etc.. so I feel a bit lost since I know about 2 words of French. Luckily everyone pretty much speaks English too. Bon soir!!!
