Quebec 2008

"Quebec City, sometimes rendered as Québec City (French: Ville de Québec, or simply Québec) (pronounced /kwɨˈbɛk/ or /keˈbɛk/), is the capital of the Canadian province of Quebec and is located within the Capitale-Nationale region. It is the second largest city in the province, after Montreal. Quebec City is about 233 kilometres (145 mi) away from Montreal. The ramparts surrounding Old Quebec (Vieux-Québec) are the only remaining fortified city walls in the Americas north of Mexico, and were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985 as the "Historic District of Old Quebec".[3] It is also one of the oldest cities in North America (founded in 1608). As of the 2006 Canadian Census, the city has a population of 491,142,[1] and the metropolitan area has a population of 715,515.[2]
The narrow width of the river as it enters the towns of Quebec and Lévis, on the opposite bank, provided the name given to the city, Kébec being the Algonquin word meaning "where the river narrows". Quebec City is internationally known for its Summer Festival, Winter Carnival and the Château Frontenac, a hotel which dominates the city skyline. The National Assembly of Quebec (provincial parliament), the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (National Museum of Fine Arts) and the Musée de la civilisation (Museum of Civilization) are found within or near Vieux-Québec.
Among the tourist attractions near the city are Montmorency Falls and the Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré in the town of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré."~Wikipedia.org


Every year, for as long as the school can remember, Harry Miller has brought students to Quebec on there final year of middle school. Last year i was fortunate enough to be amongst the selected students. My cousin-who knows what place in teh bloodline- Was one of the schools chosen Shaperones. Kelly Shanon. I had many friends there as well.

In Quebec, many meories were made, many friendships were formed, and the realization that we would not return to our beloved middle school the next year really sunk in. Our final night was one of joy, and tears. We danced upon a boat for hours, as well as dined at a resteraunt with our fellow tourists. We all looked amazing, we all had a blast, and we all cherished that final night together. We knew that in less then a week we would no longer be eight graders, we'd be getting ready to journey into high school. Here are some photo's from those few days we actually were treated as mature adults...with a few exceptions.
