D-Day -1

Only one more day until my trip to Quebec with the school.  This is a picture my family took in 2009.  As you can tell, we have great photography skills.  Probably the best picture you'll ever see of Quebec.

It's a very beautiful City with ancient architecture.  Kind of like going to Europe without the long flight. Most people inside the walls of Quebec speak English very well.  However, they do appreciate it when you try to speak French.

Founded by Samuel de Champlain in 1608, the site soon became a successful French colony. Quebec was important to France because of the beaver furs around the City.  The furs would be sent back to France where they would be transformed into beautiful beaver hats. Obviously PETA wasn't around back then.

The city came under British rule after the Battle of the Plains of Abraham in 1759.  The battle was quick and brutal, the generals on both sides died during the battle. The city proved to be quite resistant with its fortified walls and canons overlooking the St. Lawrence River.  The City was able to resist attacks from America during the American Revolution.

I'd add more, but I'm sure you could find most of this information on Wikipedia.
