Oops, is it my day again!
I am working this morning on the final proofs for Reading Up A Storm, (by Eva Gates) coming in April, and I had some CWC business to do earlier. So about all I have time for now is to tell you about my vacation.
I took myself off on a short trip to Quebec City after my launch for Rest Ye Murdered Gentlemen in Ottawa. I'd never been there before, despite living about 6 hours drive away. A friend told me that the Chateau Frontenac, the huge luxury historic hotel there, was having a "Christmas in November" promotion.
It was a great chance to stay at the famous hotel for a reasonable price, so I booked myself in for three nights.
I had a marvelous time. Just enjoying the hotel, walking and walking and walking through the old city, and eating and drinking.
The hotel was wonderful, as befits its reputation and location (and regular price) and the city is a marvel. You really do feel as though you are in France. Quebec City is the only remaining walled city in North America, and most of the walls are still in place, as are buildings and streets that date from the 17th century.
To make it all even nicer, the city is getting ready for Christmas. Here are some pictures. I hope you enjoy them.
