Belle Ville

I’m heading to Quebec City with a group of friends tomorrow.

It seems that whenever I have a day of driving ahead of me there is always a colossal snow storm. What would have been a day of a relaxed, yet long, drive has become one of anxiety as I monitor the weather reports.

No matter. Once I am warm at the chalet we have rented at the base on Mont Sainte Anne all will be well. We’ll ski and then we’ll après ski. What more is there?

Well . . .

It is the 400th Anniversary of the founding of Quebec City and we will be heading in to the city to help the locals with the revelry & celebration. Four hundred years can seem so long and so short at the same time. Either way, the wine will taste just as good.

Like the founders of the Beautiful City we too will have to battle through wind and snow to arrive at our destination. And like them, we will find that it was well worth it.
