This is the terrific place we stayed.
The views from our suite.
This wax dude was always hanging out in the lobby. It is supposed to be Champlain.
A Quebec Goober le chat.
Quebec City is very clean.
The leaves were changing color getting better as the week went on. We took many walks in this park.
It was very breezy at times.
We loved this park. The Plains of Abraham. A very significant battle in Canadian history took place here.
At the revolving restaurant in our hotel.
Fancy salad. The food was awesome.
Hanging out at a bar in lower town. I had a European hotdog. Very yummy! Jordan had the cheese plate. (surprise ha ha) Note: beer is stronger in Canada.
This ship model was inside a very old church in the lower town. The model represents the ship that transported French soldiers to New France. On the spot were this church was built was Samuel de Champlain first residence. Quebec City celebrated its 400th year this year.
On top of the old city walls. We had just seen a rainbow.
The Montmorency falls are taller than the Niagara Falls just not as wide.
Words spelled with logs. It says Omar and Carlos.
Nature finds a way.
Roland the tour guide called this the bread place. For a small fee you get bread spread with maple butter. Bus loads shuffle through to get their slice of bread and move on to the next sight.
There were panels and panels of buttons of bus drivers.
Photos of buses. There was another section of the building that was more hockey oriented but the bus theme really carried through the place.
Basilique Ste-Anne-de-Beaupre
We saw the Copper Museum where these doors were made.
More than a million people come to this basilica every year. Many claim to have felt Saint Anne's healing powers and no longer have the need for crutches etc.
Awesome painting.
The heat in this room was intense. It was nearly 100 degrees inside.
Entertaining street musicians.
Cool building near the university.
Concealed text on fence.
Fun sign.
Mummy pole.
Very hilly.
Modern vs. Old
Slide screen.
Pom poms at a crafty corner.
Interesting public art.
My folks happened to be in town. They stayed at the famous Le Chateau Frontenac. They are standing with the hotel dog. If you are a guest you can take this guy out for walks. On this day we took an entertaining tour of the hotel.
A rainbow.
Jordan's guitar hero, Steve Howe from the group Yes.
We saw a fantastic show of this guy's music, Vieux A Toura Farka.
Ann's lunch at the art museum.
Jordan's lunch at the art museum.

We loved Quebec!

Great set of photos! What luck that your parents happened to be in town too. I wish I could go to that basilica and leave my crutches. And those were some great looking salads.
