July 17, Quebec City, Quebec

We left home on Saturday morning and headed east.  We stayed at our friend's Helen and Jim's place in Long Sault but only got to see Jim for about 20 minutes before he left for work.  Did not see Helen or her girls.  :(  Sunday morning we headed to Quebec to have breakfast with our friend Donalda.  Walter was a little disappointed that his "cigar smoking" friend was not there to enjoy a big fat Cuban.  Did not see Donalda's kids either.  We headed off to hook up with Walter's sister Gabriele and her husband Regent who are joining us for the remainder of our trip.  The four of us stayed in Quebec City and spend the afternoon and evening walking the streets of Quebec City and admiring the fantastic architecture that is so unique to that area of Canada.

Boardwalk at Chateau Frontenac by the river.

Beautiful architecture.

  2. Is that an umbrella some of the photos? It's not supposed to rain on your trip! Loved seeing you guys. The kids were surprised they didn't even hear you Sunday morning. I don't think they believe you came over! It was great seeing you. Nice to see the Québec photos - such a pretty city.
