Bonjour Quebec!

Who said the Quebec'ers were unfriendly?  Not the ones we met.

Well, there was that cab driver, but he didn't look like he knew where he was going, so Jay simply used a little initiative.   You know what?  Horn's in French sound just like they do in English!  We understood!

So here are some updates:  We arrived yesterday afternoon around 3pm (just like we planned!) and settled into for a relaxing evening.  They put us waaaaaayy in the back 40.

We're in the back of the park basically alone.

We had a nice morning and headed into Quebec City.  We drove into to this morning, (about a 30 minute drive) and took the Ferry back (about 15 minutes).

Today was pretty special in a few ways.  First of all, we celebrated 26 years of marriage today!  And we did it in a very special place.  We had lunch at Le Chateau Frontenac, the stunning hotel in the center of Quebec City.  Jay's parents spent their Honeymoon there, nearly 61 years ago.  

Not the best shot of this magnificent hotel,
but you get the picture....

We enjoyed a very nice lunch in their Terrace restaurant

This is the most dressed up Jay has
gotten in a month

And then we did a carriage ride through the old city.  We have found that carriage rides are delightful in the way to take tours in tourist cities.  This was no exception.

Then, on the advice of Peggy, we went to the shops "below" the Frontenac (it sits on a huge cliff-type hill).  What a great recommendation this was!

Viewing the lower street areas from the stairways that
lead you down to it.

We felt that a 7 hour test of our dogs bladders was about all the risk we were willing to endure today, and we are happy to report that the test was successful.  These dogs have been very easy to travel with.

The weather forecast for tomorrow suggests that we picked the right day (today) for our outside tourist activities.  If it rains a lot we will seek out some other interesting things to do.  Quebec is a spectacular city.  We could spend weeks here.  It will be a charming city to return to.

Our best wishes to you all!
