Vacation Catch Up, Part 4

So I'm all over the place with  my August blogs. I intended to be all caught up by now but the slug disease took over and I just couldn't get into the blog of things. But I decided that today was catch up today, even it meant no sleep. (Good thing I keep notes and take photos of my finds.)

So, way back, on August 4th (a Saturday), when we were still on vacation, wandering around the streets in Old Quebec City I found some coins I couldn't pick up. From the first to the fifth of August was Les Fetes de la Nouvelle-France. This festival is a celebration of the first European settlers (in the 1600s) in Quebec. The locals dress in period garb and there are many activities all about - skits, vendors, stuff for little kids to do and so much more.

Stuck coins

Random people on the street

Walking down one of the streets in Old QC, I spotted a $1.25 on the street. I thought I had struck it rich but when I went to pick up the coins, I found they were stuck to the ground. Wonder how many of the people around me also tried to pick up these coins.

Earlier in the day, when we were walking along the Grand Allee, I found a 2006 dime in front of the Aux Yieu restaurant.

FYI, the evening ended with a fire works display - a perfect ending to a perfect day.

My total finds for the day - 10¢ I could keep and $1.25 forever imbedded in the streets of Quebec City.
