Canada 10

 

Quebec City

 

We took a tour of the city

And were told of its history.

We wandered in a citadel 

And looked out in a battlefield.

 

We shopped a street of cobble stones.

We felt France in our bones.

We ate a lunch of sandwich and fries,

Chatted and laughed, a joyful surprise.

 

We discovered a wood carver’s shop,

Amazing carvings that did not stop.

He showed his work bench amidst saw dust.

To see work in progress was a must.

 

The next adventure was a steep hill.

To ride the toboggan was a thrill.

A long, slow trudge up to the top,

Then lickety-split we came to a stop.

 

We topped the evening

With a Michelin Star dinner,

A six-course meal,

A real award winner.

 

We said our good byes.

I saw some tears.

Imagined we’d meet again

Through the years.

 

We packed up our things

And went to bed that night,

Not knowing what awaited

In the morning light.
