Quebec

The Castle

That castle was awesome. It was built on an island shaped like a heart. This wealthy New York man was building it for his wife in early l900's, 226 rooms. His wife passed away just before it was completed and the man never went back . He pulled off all the workers and never completed it and he never went back to the island. He said his heart was broken.
So now they have given it to the state like the Hearst Castle was and people can go in and see it. Wow, a beautiful place.

The foursome are in Quebec!!! French only!!

Fort Niagra

This was Fort Niagara where there was a big battle between the British and French in the l800's. This castle was made into a fort.
This was celebrating the 250th anniversary of the British taking over. There was a reenactment of the whole revolution. This was really awesome to be in the middle of this. All the people that came there were acting out what would have been happening in that era and in the battle. There were people on old boats shooting and everything. What an experience to see this and to be here on that day. You can go on the Internet and look up Fort Niagara at Youngstown. Jodi, thank you and
Steve's Mom for mentioning this to us. We would have missed the whole thing.
I was amazed. Some of the people were speaking French because they were defending the French. They make their clothes and they are staying in tents while this reenactment is happening. It was awesome and we loved seeing it. Mike "the historian" knew about this battle and was in heaven seeing all of this.
