We spent another fun day exploring this beautiful city. Today (actually yesterday because I didn’t get around to posting this last night) we focused on La Citadelle, the fort that was built to defend the city after the rabble rousers from the south (us) attacked Quebec during the War of 1812.
We were wandering kinda aimlessly up to the citadel and a perky, young Canadian gal (Vanessa) asked us if we’d like to take a tour, which was about ready to start. She was great! It was just us and two other folks, one from Brazil and another from England. Lots of history, lots of laughs..
Here’s Vanessa with Rachel, one of the cannons. 🙂
Here are a few additional photos of Quebec City. A lovely place, full of lovely people!

This restaurant specializes in rabbit (lapin) dishes!

Vanessa took this one for us. 🙂
We neglected to mention in the previous post that we’re staying in Levis which is directly across the St. Lawrence river from QC. It’s just a 10 minute ferry ride from Levis to Vieux (old) Quebec. We love ferries, so the idea of staying here was an added bonus.
This is a shot of Quebec as we head back to Levis.
Au revoir, Quebec!
Really cool pictures. Quebec looks like I thought it would. I have been wanting to go there for quite some time now, actually had it planned for last October, but family matters caused a problem with making the trip.
As far as you contest is concerned, why did you exclude Canadians? Was it because they already have all the Maple Syrup that they can eat or is it because they are too smart to enter the contest considering that they would have an unfair advantage?
Would you suggest this trip to others? We were going to fly round trip to Boston and spend 2 weeks in New England and Canada, then fly back. I’m going to have to ask you how to rent one of these vans on the cheap and compare the prices!
It does look like you had a good time, but why did you sleep on the table Bunny???
your aimless wandering reminds me of one of my favorite Tolkien quotes ” Not all those who wander are lost” Sounds like you “found” your way successfully
