Three lovely new entries on the brand new Canada page. Enjoy Diddily
QUEBEC and its CITY
We, myself
and my husband, were due to be flying here
tomorrow, to spend Christmas with my young friend
and her family in Charlesbourg. However things at
home became a bit difficult and we have had to call
the holiday off. Well I have stopped crying now,
but maybe I will spare a few tears for tomorrow.
I have
spent many hours looking at all the wonderful
pictures and letting my imagination run away with
me. I am now going to share some on my thoughts
with yourselves. Do enjoy my little visit and of
course the stories and songs, also video's that
will accompany this web page of
Canada.
There are
only three urban centers in North America that have
been designated as UNESCO
Cultural
World Heritage Sites: San Juan, Puerto Rico;
Lunenberg, Nova Scotia;
and Quebec City which has the further
distinction of being the only
fortified city north of Mexico. The two
levels of its historic quarter create
quite a different geographic and visual layout from
Old Montreal. The upper
plateau was first selected for settlement by the
French military in the very
early 17th century. High cliffs overlooking the
mighty St. Lawrence River
provided ideal natural ramparts for fending off
enemies.
