Today we began our day at nine o'clock like usual, today's forecast called for slight showers and cloudy skies. Unlike the other two days our day consist of sight seeing. The Basilica was our first stop on our days journey. The experience was very eye opening to us all. St. Anne, who was created by the Catholic Church, is supposedly Mary's mother, and in the basilica they had a piece of her arm. Unfortunately we did not see any nuns, but we did see this lady who was becoming a nun (we think). After the lovely basilica we went to the de la chute montmorency falls (google it). Before we took our gondola ride we ate our appetizing lunch of sandwiches, chips, apples, and carrots. While entering the park, we had to pay for parking and the french lady asked Pastor Webster if we wanted to pay extra for the gondola ride and he told her no, but when Pastor Dave drove through he asked if the car before him had paid for gondola rides ( the car before him was Pastor Webster's car) and the lady told him yes. So half of the group had tickets and the other half did not, but we ended up buying everyone a ticket so that nobody had to climb the treacherous stairs up the mountain. After we had taken all our pictures jared, caleb, matt, and lynnae took the stairs down while the rest of us made the wise choice of taking the gondola ride back. Everybody was extremely tired when we got back home so everybody took naps. Billy made meatloaf and meatballs for dinner with green and yellow beans and potatoes. Dinner was very delicious and everybody ate so much that we were all full.After dinner we rushed to get ready for church. Church was very nice; we met many new church members that we did not meet Sunday. We enjoyed fellow-shipping with the english speaking members of the church. Celine and Lauren took us to a very entertaining light and sound show in Quebec City. It was quite informative on the history of Quebec. Then we went home had some doughnut holes and went to bed. sleeping bill on the couch said the blueberry, puffy honey ones were really good.
Pictures will be posted on Pastor Locke's facebook Page :D
