Visiting Saguenay

​We finally got a really good look at the ship.  In Quebec we were in a commercial port that is being converted to a cruise port.  So it is not the best place for taking pictures.
​Saguenay is full of very nice people.  It is a bit qwerky.

After walking near the port and visiting several stores including a Canada post office to buy the most expensive postcard stamps. They were $1.27 canadian for each stamp. They cost more than the postcards. We got tickets to the hop on hop off bus to tour the town.  We stopped at a local mall called “A place du Saguenay” to buy a couple of things.  That was an adventure.  We stopped in the “dollar” like store.  Almost everything is labeled exclusively in French.   It was a little different.
Our next stop was the local museum, the Museum of the Fjord or “Musee du Fjord”.  They had a great 14 thousand gallon aquarium, an insect display along with some living insects and amphibians, a local history section (but everything was in French so I had to guess what was on display),  exhibit on Dinosaurs that included animated Dino's (pretty cool), and a multimedia simulated journey into the Saguenay Fjord.
​On the way back to the ship, we stopped at a glass artisan store and a river known to have a huge salmon migration.
I got change.  Yes, this is a Canadian $10 bill.  They feel like plastic and are much tougher than our bills despite being fancy looking.

​​Tonight is our first Gala night where everyone dresses up.  It was very nice and we had escargot as an appetizer.  We had a great time.

We decided after dinner to go to the Captain's Welcome Toast.  Hey, it's free champagne.

​Time for some music and performances.

​Shawna was hurt in the BB King lounge!  It's a lounge so, of course, the room was dark and a step was in dark carpet.  She missed the width of the step falling forward to the floor which put a lot of stress on both feet. At the time, she did not think there was any real damage just extremely painful. We headed back to our room to see how her feet looked. Called our stewards and asked for ice to be brought to the room. She iced them for hours to help prevent swelling.

Love the pics! Kids were super excited over the postcards. I think the Quebec one you sent first arrived last. Lol.
