What a day! The drive up was smooth, our drivers Peter and Lucky did a great job getting us and our instruments to Quebec safely and ahead of schedule. We had no issues at the border, and the border guard was very complimentary of our group's behavior. Our hotel is beautiful, and our tour guides from USIT have us busy for the next few days. Tonight, we had a great pasta and salad dinner at La Vieille Maison du Spaghetti, followed by a viewing of the winter carnival parade. We learned a few things about Canada tonight. 1. It's cold. 2. It doesn't seem to bother people here. 3. They have a parade to celebrate how cold it is outside.
We had a little trouble connecting with the bus after the parade due to some traffic issues, but we are now all thawed out and back at the hotel. The kids are in bed resting up for a long day tomorrow, which includes our first performance!
We have wifi at the hotel, but not while we are out. If you are trying to get in touch with me or your child, and they have an iPhone, please make sure you're sending your message as a text, rather than an iMessage. Otherwise, it won't be seen until we get wifi service.
More coming tomorrow, including some pictures from our adventures today. Bonne nuit!
