Well, I spoke too soon about the weather... Today was very rainy. We invested in some 99 cent ponchos after our breakfast and tour of the Huron Indian Village, where we ate smoked buffalo and delicious sweet rolls, among other things.
In town, we had some time for shopping and lunch, then went on a tour of the Citadelle, which is still an active military base. We then enjoyed some indoor time at an Improve Game Show, absolutely hysterical...think "Whose Line Is It Anyway." We then went to dinner at Les Voûtes du Cavour, which was a little lackluster being a buffet and essentially only used by tour groups. Last major event: a historical experience. A pair of presenters acted like the generals Montcalm and Wolfe of the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, explaining in first person their rationales for choices made. They also did a super-fun set of interactive activities, like teaching us how to load a musket, make a cartridge and perform an amputation. Lovely!
Another hour of free time took us up to the end of our time in Québec. We said goodbye to Christophe, our tour manager, who has been absolutely amazing. We are now about four hours from the US-Canada border, and should be exhausted enough to sleep most of the way home!
