I went to the “Carnaval de Québec” (Quebec city winter carnival) this weekend. It was my first time ever. When I was young, my parents would not let me go because it was said to be too wild. Later on I did not go because I was worried about the cold. Well, let me tell you, it is WAYYY too cold for anyone to get wild.Yesterday morning it was minus 32 Celcius (minus 25.6 F). As you can see the only way to stay alive is to wear a scarf in front of yout face, but when you do that, your glasses fog up and freeze over, so I was transformed into a red cyclop…
I will put a more thorough report in the travel section, but want to share here some of the photos I took. What fascinated me more than all the snow and ice, were the people. There were men dressed up like in the olden days…
