The President of Latvia Visits Canada

Quebec City - 20 September 2006

Bonnie and Andy stayed at the Maison de Fort next to the Citadelle

We inspected the security arrangements...

Checking out the culturally correct cuisine

Walking up to the Citadelle

The invited guests start to arrive

The honour guard of the van-doo regiment arrives

Awaiting the Governor General

After the inspection of the honour guard, the Governor General, Michaelle Jean, addressed the assembly

Then the president of Latvia, Vaira Vike-Freiberga, spoke

The Latvian delegation stayed at the Chateau Frontenac

After the formalities, the president strolls along the board walk

Phew... this diplomacy stuff is exhausting!
