Various Views of Chateau Frontenac

A bit fairy tale, that last one, no? It was taken near the entrance to the Citadel.
I went inside the day before, ambled about, and you know? The interior was nothing compared to the Empress in Victoria. The exterior, however, was worth the trip alone.

For All You Cannon Nerds Out There

From Artillery Park outside the carriage shed.


And a map snapshot from inside the museum. The Artillery Park is along the city walls on the right, where the Citadel is on the left.
The things you had to do to defend against cannons.

And a bonus from the Rampart.

New Face, New Beer

Hot find! A place that sells masks manufactured by the suppliers to the Cirque du Soliel!

I got two such masks, both cat. This is the more masculine 'Feline', reminiscent of a lion or panther. The other is a 'Puss in Boots', and is much less stern looking, and they have nose holes, I can breathe in them.

And of course, a big honkin' bottle of beer.

Egad, I've grown such a mane. And by now I feel I've cemented myself as 'one of those internet weirdos'.

New Favorite Beer

La Maudite. It's a very strong beer, and to me it tasted a bit of fruit. Almost like a wine with bubbles. If you can find it where you live, you really must try this, especially if you enjoy wine as much as beer.
