Chad Darnell's 12 of 12
on the 12th of each month, I take 12 pictures throughout my day, however mundane or sleep-inducing they might be
 8:27 AM: After waking up in Auberge aux Deux Lions on the second day of our visit to Qu?bec City, I listen to the weather report in French while eating a banana (in English), listening to Alize?, and waiting for Rebecca to get back from her jog across a battlefield. |
 10:11 AM: Apparently, I am on a horse with THE HORSEWOMAN, outside of the Mus?e des Beaux-Arts. You can tell if something is free or costs money, based on whether we are inside of it or outside of it. | |
 10:46 AM: After a nature walk and a neverending stairway filled with self-flagellating runners doing "stairs", we reach the lower town, filled with Rorschach horses along the St. Lawrence river. |
 11:06 AM: Rebecca eats a healthy banana outside of a store that sells ice cream dipped in maple syrup. | |
 11:41 AM: Rebecca blends in perfectly with the folks in period costume. |
 1:16 PM: Fun fact -- during a music festival, you can slap a sign that says "Rickard's Pub" on any old tent and sell beer. | |
 2:26 PM: Rebecca learns to play the zamboa outside of the Church of the Holy Trinity. |
 2:34 PM: Street performers in the Old Town. These guys were much better than an earlier acrobat who spent 20 minutes donning a wig to the soundtrack of Jungle Boogie. | |
 4:01 PM: Catching a performance of Gruv'n Brass down at the ports. |
 7:33 PM: It's nice to plan your vacation without realizing that the Summer Music Festival is in town all week. This is a free performance of Boulevard des Airs, billed as performing "world music of France". | |
 9:13 PM: In any other city, an advertisement saying "Free nightly performance of Cirque du Soleil, under the Route 40 overpass" would probably be a scam to steal people's kidneys. |
 10:35 PM: Cirque du Soleil is still incredibly weird, yet awesome. |
