Quebec City is the most beautiful place I’ve ever been to in my entire life! It’s really historic and graceful. There’s a great big hotel that looks like a castle on top of a hill that looks out along the St. Lawrence River, with all these curvy streets and old buildings at the bottom. And the Plains of Abraham. Right here, with the fort and everything! We read about it in school but it’s so much more exciting to see the real place. I spent the entire afternoon just wandering around the whole area imagining what it must have been like a hundred years ago. Then I practiced dying like Wolfe and Montcalm, trying to be romantic without getting my clothes too dirty. Someone walked past me once with an amazed look on their face. I guess they weren't expecting some girl in a scooter skirt to be lying on the grass writhing in agony after having been shot with a musket.
