[Magdalen] Where to go?

[Lynn Ronkainen]

Quebec City IS fabulous... and if there, spurge one night at the Chateau 
Frontenac,   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C3%A2teau_Frontenac
even if you get the cheapest room (maybe no more cheap rooms, I see it is 
now run by 'The Fairmont' chain)  In 1980 it was named a historic landmark 
in Canada... it overlooks the St. Lawrence from a CLIFF!!!   Also Roger, if 
you're that close to that area, consider a tour of the 1,000 islands - in 
the westernmost part of the St. Lawrence before it enters Lake Ontario. 
BTW... have you seen ANY Of the Great Lakes?  really worth a look... If you 
were in Toronto,  you must have seen Lake Ontario... L. Superior is my 
favorite, followed by L. Huron (on the E side of Michigan, my home state).
