Another day, another museum

Wednesday brought a day spent entirely in Quebec.

First, breakfast at the hotel. This time, not bad.

Then, off to Gatineau City to take in the Museum of Civilization. Turns out they have a children's museum, which is really fantastic. They have little passport thingies, and you can get them stamped at each of the thousand little kiosks there, after completing a little activity. Really good. We spent a couple of hours there, totally engrossed.

Then, off to "Treasures of China." It's amazing what can be done with Jade.

Then, the "Hall of Canada." Once we found it, that is. Not to be missed - so we didn't. Finally, a quick run through their largest indoor collection of totem poles, and the cultural activity of the day was complete.

Then, since we'd been gone almost half a week so far, notwithstanding that some had packed as if they were joining Hannibal's march, it was time to do laundry. (That idea was first floated on Monday). Off to the wilds of outer Gatineau to the "coin de lavage" that the front desk directed us to. Clean, and close to a Dairy Queen - our kind of place. Luckily it was not crowded. A couple of hours later, with a couple of trips to the DQ and the IGA, we were on our way back to the Cartier Resort, and the pool!

A 1 1/2 hour swim ended the day. What will today bring?
