My Travels: Quebec City It's quiet now from war and strife this jewel of the north Quebec City is filled with life and talent moving forth Along the promenade I stroll while people pass me by A mist within my spirit stole into the past I fly The future of the country set from fighting foes that day As French and English armies met with war the only way The shortest battle ever fought outside the city wall On The Plains of Abraham was wrought as frenchmen took the fall The walls are standing high and strong testament to the past It's stone buildings have stood so long with mortar made to last Now made for sweethearts everywhere strolling on the boardwalk The festivals of life they share whispering lover's talk I've walked along the cobbled street a dream within my heart To share this place where lovers meet among this ancient art Karen Torbiak 2001© Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

 (smiles) And very soon, you will return to this marvelous architectual wonder, holding the hand of the man of your dreams. (sigh) Oh Karen, I long ever so much to go here, as I have read too of the history along the Atlantic coast of Canada and the Vikings and Skraelings and early settlers, and I can't wait to visit this beautiful city. (smiles) Very soon, he will fidn you, and he will love you forever! (kiss on cheek) Another wonderful poem, dearest friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karen, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Lovely Karen. I've never been to Quebec City, but one of my favourite customers is there and has been trying to convince me to visit. He was telling me that they have a fantastic music festival there in July, so I have resolved that I am going. Now, if I can just find a sweetheart to take with me!!!! If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Karen...the more you write about these places, the more I wish I had travelled north to see just one of them. but I know I would not be satisfied until I had seen them all. Would you give a guided tour? |

Startime, I haven't really been able to visit that many places in my lifetime, but with poems like yours I can experience the excitement of these glorious places without having to go there. Thanks for sharing. Dawn |

Fascinating, taking trips with you like this. My Grandmother was born there, and I have never seen it, but would love to. Sandra |
