My Trip Around the World, Quebec City


Quebec, Canada is so neat! Even though everything is really pricey here I'm having a great time. A lot of people here talk funny, some even speak french.

Did you know...

The Château Frontenac in Quebec City is the most photographed hotel in the world.

The people have a festival called Quebec City's Carnival each winter. The festival has been celebrated since 1880.

Quebec is one of the most intriguing cities on the North American continent.

As the major center of French Canada, Quebec most of the population is bilingual, capable of speaking French and English.

The average snowfall is 130 inches

My Summer


This summer we built a treehouse in our backyard, it's 3-storys high and it's really awsome. Actally its not done yet, we still have to attach a basket pulley and finish a wall. Other than that it is practicly done, on warm days I swing in the hammock and read a book.
I also went to Seattle to visit my dad, we did lots of fun things. Whats odd is that Seattle, in the summer is really rainy but they had a drought, and in Des Moines when it's usually hot and sunny it was pouring rain. I think it has some thing to do with global warming and chamging climates.
See you next time!
