We earned a trip to Quebec City, Canada with about 40 other Reliv Distributors. We loved this adventure, the accommodations, the friends we made, the scenic and historic sites, and the wonderful time we had together. We stayed at the famous Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac. It was incredible! This hotel is the world's most photographed hotel. The design of this hotel and the other buildings is a unique centuries-old architecture. The atmosphere was a European charmed city, with horse-drawn carriages, street entertainers, singers, and artists, particularly at Old Quebec City by the Lawrence River. The man in this picture below is a distributor from France.
The pictures are in random order, but each scene was spectacular. After a long day traveling on Thursday, September 11th, we arrived at the hotel in time to quickly change our clothes for the Reliv dinner with everyone. We were surprised to be recognized as 2nd in the nation in volume of sales for August. We were handed a $4000 check. That was a great way to start our trip!
The Grand Prix Cycliste de Quebec, a one-day professional bicycle road race was happening that weekend in Quebec. It was very exciting to see the bikers race by us.
Saturday was a Urban Rally where the distributors were divided up into groups and they searched for clues, and had to perform or do other activities along the way. I knew it would be too hard on me physically, so I opted not to attend, but it was a great event for the other distributors to bond with each other. Crismon had a lot of fun participating.
We really enjoyed the Farewell Dinner held at a restaurant where we were all given parts of a play and the actors would perform right by our tables.
Sunday we made arrangements for a taxi to take us to church, about 25 minutes away. We had asked Reliv for a later flight so we could attend our meetings. How grateful we could spend Sunday morning among the faithful saints in Quebec. Our trip went by so quickly. We loved this unique city. It truly is magically. We hope to go back someday.
The Cathedral-Basilica of Notre-Dame de Quebec was walking distance from our hotel. It is the oldest parish church in North American north of Mexico.
Quebec is the only fortified city in North America north of Mexico with close to 3 miles of walls and gates around the city. The St. Lawrence River is a massive presence cutting clean across the Quebec area, the gateway to America.
Friday we joined most of the other Reliv group to visit "Montmorency Park Falls," a majestic falls, 83 meters, (30 meters higher than Niagara Falls), or 262 feel high. We enjoyed riding the bus and visiting with Ryan Montgomery, the President of Reliv. He shared many personal things about his parents, and the struggle it is for their family as his Mom has Alzheimer's. Very sad. We have traveled with Ryan and Scott Montgomery and we've become close to them. From the bus, we walked the rest of the way to the Park visiting with Ryan. This was a special time to connect with him.
This is a historic room where the hotel became the action center of the Quebec Conference of World War II, which involved U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchhill and Canadian Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King.
