Je me souviens

For more than one month I will be in the North East part of America. The first visit is Quebec region of Canada. The officially motto of this part of Canada is "Je me souviens" (I remember). This motto has been the subject of so much debate over the years. Nobody knows what the architect Eugene-Etienne Tache meant when he inscribed "Je me souviens" above the main door of the Parliament Building in Quebec City in 1883.
Quebec district is the only Canadian province with a predominantly French-speaking population and the only one whose sole official language is French at the provincial level. For a french guy I have some problems with the quebecoise accent.
The name "Quebec", which comes from the Algonquin word kepék meaning "(it) narrows", originally referred to the area around Quebec City where the Saint Lawrence River narrows to a cliff-lined gap. I think that Quebec without St. Lawrence River is like Paris without Tour Eifel.
Personally I will remember Canada.
I will visit next days Quebec, Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto.
