10 Experiences, 100 Discoveries: E3 – Carnaval
Albert Einstein said, “the only source of knowledge is experience.” With that in mind, as part of my adventure, 1 Year, 10 Projects, 100 Discoveries, ten of the discoveries are about experiences I’ve always wanted to have. This post is part of that project. You can see all 10 Experiences here and the entire project here. Enjoy the moments, I sure am!
Thanks to the ILC, I spent a few days in Quebec City, Canada. Toronto and/or Montreal had been on my original list for this project, but when I mapquested the distance between the three cities, Toronto and Montreal were out of the picture for this round.
While it was one of the coldest times to go, I couldn’t pass up experiencing Carnaval (and yes, the French spelling is all a’s. You have to say it with an accent!). Before going, people likened it to Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Maybe I missed the parade, but to me, it was more like a state fair, complete with ferris wheel, fried dough and snow sculptures. Nevertheless, for a mere $12 CAD, I got an Effigie (all tickets should be like this), froze my butt off and had the time of my life sliding down slides made of ice, drinking Caribou and other such carnaval-esque fun.
