OLD QUEBEC CITY

Today we headed into Old Quebec City for a wonderful day of sightseeing.  Not a lot needs to be said, the pictures tell the story . . .

The walls of the old city just ahead.

One of the ways of getting around.  The city has some very steep hills.

The streets are very narrow

Walked up this one, it was pretty steep.

A beautiful walk

A stop for coffee at Starbucks.

Some beautiful homes across from Starbucks

From here we got into the car and drove up to the lookout at the Fortress.  Here's some photos . . .

We're heading out tomorrow . . . just not sure where as yet.  We no longer have the Verizon Wi-fi or our telephone as they are both programmed for the U.S. so unless we manage to get Wi-fi at our next stop we will be out of contact for a few days.  Our goal is North Bay, Ontario by the 23rd of September.  Should be back on line by then.
