Bienvenu to Quebec City

Those French Canadian people have a different word for everything and signs to match! It could have made the navigator crazy but thankfully the pictures told us what we were looking for.


Welcome to beautiful Quebec City! It is the capital of the Quebec Province located on the St Lawrence River. The city is 400 years old with a Citadel featuring fortified city walls, the oldest in North America.  We felt like we had arrived in Europe without having to cross the Atlantic. Sweet!!

The quaint historic boulevard was lined with sidewalk cafes and with the warm sunny weather every cafe packed out for the lunch hour.





At lunch we enjoyed mixing with the locals but, of course, we got found out quickly when we didn't speak any french.  
C'est La Vie. 




 It was a treat to stroll through the historic Old Quebec and take in the beauty of it all.


 Lorraine met up with some friendly ladies who wanted to play Red Rover, Red Rover
 Tom met up with Franklin D. Roosevelt for a man to man talk.



For the short time we were here we sure enjoyed you Quebec City. Now it's time to head back to Blue Boy and out of town to our next destination.
