The Castle

I travelled to Quebec city (about 3 hours away from Montreal) for the book fair. My job there: smile, and try to convince people to buy my little novel. So far, not much success, though I did manage to have the courage to talk to a poet I love. And she bought my book. My work is done.

Once I got out of the fair for the night, I got myself into a cocktail with people from my publishing house, but since I'm still in my vaguely asocial mood (I blame grief, and tiredness, and the "looking for a job" situation), I left after one drink and wandered alone.

This is the Chateau Frontenac, a huge hotel in the Haute-Ville part of Quebec. I love the spectral sense it gives at night! (I've actually never set foot inside the castle, but plan to do it at some point)
