Day 28: Quebec City

So today is the official end of week 4. Crazy! We woke up to some rain and a forecast for scattered showers ending by 10, cool with highs topping out in the low 70s. The showers lasted a bit longer, though never bad enough to warrant rain gear. The temps never rose above 64. Doesn’t sound very nice, but it was actually just about perfect. I had forgotten what a hilly city Wuebec is. Steep hills. Lots of them. Very steep. Cool temps are definitely nice for that kind of walking around.

We covered a lot of ground.... the funicular down to Place Royale and the original old part of the city, the fortifications, the citadel, Parliament, the old underground chateau that burned down and was built over by the Terrasse Dufferin.

Lots of cool stuff. Good crepes for breakfast, a rather lively lunch place where I had some poutine. The city really started hopping in the evening with the music festival. Busy, fun. Had a little issue finding a place for dinner. Lots and lots of restaurants, though mostly bars so the kids were not allowed in as they are minors. Finally found a place, food was good.
