What a great time to visit Quebec. Caught the opening night of Montreal's 'Just For Laughs' festival with streets full of music, dance and monster insects. Then onto to Tremblant for the last night of the International Blues Festival. To top it all we saw the start of the international fireworks competition and the McCartney concert in Quebec.Australia opened the fireworks festival with a stunning music synchronised display with 50000 fireworks. The only trouble being that there was no wind and after 10 minutes you could see nothing but smoke which changed colour very prettily as massive fireworks exploded above. Three times they stopped the show and waited for the air to clear only for it to become opaque again a few minutes later.
Neither of us was particularly excited about seeing McCartney and Marilyn had to be dragged along screaming. Quebec was packed but we stumbled across an campsite with space on the other side of the Saint Lawrence river. The concert was fantastic and free. McCartney did a storming 2.5 hours session of 36 songs. He was obviously loving every second as was the quarter million audience
The papers even two days later are full of the concert with pages of pictures and rave reviews.
Sometimes the screen can be cruel
If you are really important you have to be in contact at ALL times
