Overall, it was a celebration of winter that we'll never forget. The following is a complete travel guide to experiencing Quebec City Carnaval. Welcome to Quebec City! We are here in the winter capital of the world. And it is carnival which means everyone is out embracing the cold and embracing the winter fun. Alright, so what are we doing next? We're going to be doing something I've wanted to do for years. We're going to dog sledding! Woo! Go, puppies go! Steer it. Go, puppies! Good puppies. Come on, puppies. We're going ice fishing. We're going to be catching our lunch today. Ready to fish? I'm ready. I've got my bait. I've got my fishing rod. Let's do this. They ate your bait. They ate it and didn't come up. Let's go get some more. That is not very good fishing. I know. That's really bad fishing. Okay, round two. Let's get ourselves a fish. Oh, we have a fish and I feel kind of bad. We got one. I know I eat fish but I feel a little guilty right now. Now it is time to cook it. Lunch, right here. Just warming up. Here is our catch of the day. This is the big reveal. You can see the steam coming off. That smells really nice. I know, I think they've put seasonings on it. Oh, yeah. That looks good. Have it. Oh, I can't see. The smoke is going in my eyes. Alright, first bite. Mmmm. How is it? That's amazing. Can you look at the camera? They put some onions and spices inside and a little bit of butter. It's really good. I think it is time for a romantic sleigh ride for two. So right now we're getting ready to go inside Bonhomme's ice palace. Let's go visit him. I even once went to Mexico. It's a little bit warm. When I got there I was about eight feet as I am usually and when I came back I was five foot four. I melted a little bit. Is that a video? Let's do something memorable. Audrey. And you're from? Kingston, right? Okay. Hello, my friends from Kingston. We're with Audrey right now. We invite you to come to the biggest winter carnival in the world in Quebec City. I love you all and wish you a Joyeux Carnaval. I love you all and wish you a Joyeux Carnaval. Merci. Bye, bye. Bye, Bohomme. Merci. Alright, unfortunately all things come to an end.
