C’est magnifique! Grands Feux Loto-Québec is an impressive fireworks show launched mid-point of the St. Lawrence River, and directly outside my home for the next few days, the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac. This locale is home to six nights of similar shows between late July and late August.

Québec City, a fortified #unesco World Heritage Site, pays tribute to Churchill and Roosevelt, who were among those participating in “Quadrant”, a then-secret military conference held by the Canadian, UK and US governments at Québec City’s Citadelle and Le Château Frontenac - 84 years ago today.

... and exhale! Am back in the beautiful, historic Fairmont Le Château Frontenac and Québec City.
Having taken a red eye flight from Vancouver, I couldn’t have been more appreciative of the early check in and warm welcome from Esther and colleagues. Daphne the hotel dog, my room and the views are also sweet! It’s good to be back.
