Quebec City

My husband, his son, and I went to Quebec City ~ our first time. It's a BEAUTIFUL city. We only visited Vieux Quebec (Old Quebec). We did not feel like seeing New Quebec, but we did go to the malls on our first full day, due to rain.
Day 1 ~ We arrived at night, so we just set up our tents and ate supper. It was misting, but not bad at all.

Day 2 ~ It was pouring rain. We planned to walk around Vieux Quebec, but had to do something inside. We went to the Musee de la civilisation (The Musuem of Civilization). Very interesting. Learned a lot. After that we went to a pub. Unlike here in America, you have to be 18 just to enter the pub. Good thing Nathan is 18. My first photo taken in Canada was of Nathan and his father enjoying a beer in the pub. While in there, I asked our waitress if there was a mall nearby. So, off to the mall we went.

Day 3 ~ Walking around Vieux Quebec. Parked the car at Chateau Frontenac and then walked everywhere. First, we were in Haute-Ville (Upper Town). We went to the city wall, saw the Parliament buildings. Went to the old British fort and had my picture taken with a guard. Since it's a British fort, we guards there are like the royal guards in England. Tried to get him to talk, but he wouldn't. He just looked at me. Walked on La terrasse Dufferin and took pictures of the St. Lawrence River. Walked down Escalier Casse-Cou (the breakneck stairs, which they are called that for a good reason) to the Basse-Ville (Lower Town). Walked down Champlain staircase to stroll along the Quartier Petit Champlain. Bought some souvenirs, chocolate, and ate lunch in a cafe. Had a great time just meandering around Old Quebec City.

Day 4 ~ Visited La Chute Montmorency, a waterfall that flows into the St. Lawerence River. Walked down the steep stairs, but took the gondola up, while Nathan went up the stairs. Took a lot of photos here. One has a rainbow in it.
