We're considering traveling to Quebec to camp and sightsee (mostly around the Southern parts) in a couple weeks and wondered if there are any kind souls on here who like to share information and would have fairly recent experience with this. If so, thank you in advance for emailing me privately at annalisa@fast.net Sounds like there's not much letterboxing activity up there, but I'd like to know about that too. Will check teh archives. Possibly we could plant some. With such short notice, I'm wondering how challenging it might be to find camping spaces, and also how much of an obstacle my rusty French will present in terms of finding such places to stay. Basically, it's gotta be inexpensive. (Anyone want to do a house swap?! We're here in the artist's county of Bucks, in PA) I can probably get by with my French, but it seems whatever language I've studied most recently gets mixed into the one I'm trying to speak! So I'm sure I will be mixing in Mandarin and maybe Haitian Creole by mistake. We would definitely want to take in Quebec City, and it's been at least a couple decades since I've been there, so I remember very little except that I loved the place and would like my family to experience it. Thanks!

Excellent timing, this. Diane and I planted a box on the Ile d'Orleans, and we need to get the clues onto the website. There's also Poutine, which I mentioned before (maybe before Anna's time) which we found but the stamp was missing so I carved a new one. I'll write you privately about where to get good poutine and caribou stew and letterboxes!
Meanwhile, don't anyone ever worry about the language barrier in Quebec City - it's a tourist destination and gobs of hoteliers and store folks and waitstaff and all are bilingual. Like most of us, they only look for simple courtesy. I've seen less patience here in the States with folks who are struggling with English.
