Day 13 - Quebec City

   Today my day started of with a "Rock & Roll"! Literally! I was awoken at 4:30am by someone rocking my car! I jerked awake and peered out my back window to see a big semi truck backing into me!😳 Long story short, he left several scratches but no dents so he gave me the money to fix the scratches and called it square. 
   After catching a few more hours of sleep I headed to the Visitors Centre to gather some maps, info and plan out my day! It was rainy and miserable when I headed out, but thankfully that cleared up and it became a beautiful day!
   First stop was Montmorency Falls, just on the edge of Quebec City! Absolutely Beautiful and powerful!








 
 
  Then I took off for Old Town Quebec! If I thought Montreal was beautiful...Quebec City has it beat by a mile! Such beautiful old streets and lovely architecture!


 


 



 


 




While I was wandering around I happened upon this movie set! No idea what movie they were shooting but the actor looked rather humorous!

This Old Town Quebec is still surrounded by its walls and they are so beautiful!


 
 
Next was a walk along the Dufferine Terrace that overlooks the St. Lawrence River...



 






 


 And then up the Governor's walkway!

   On my wanderings I came across numerous street musicians...but this one caught my eye!

   I had never seen something like this before in my life and the sound was so beautiful and peaceful! I loved it so much I bought a CD and it's been playing in my car ever since! Thanks Philippe Gagné! If your on Facebook check out his page: philippegagnemusic.
   Realizing how late it was getting I took off for the Place du Marché-du-Vieux-Port! (market) and not a moment too soon! As soon as I parked the rain started pouring down! But by the time I was ready to leave it had cleared back up! But while I was there I decided it simply wouldn't be right to leave Quebec without trying a French Macaroon! Talk about a little piece of heaven in your mouth! If you've never tried them, you must!


I spent the rest of the evening wandering and exploring the shops...until I came across these two sweeties!



  I finally closed my night with one last trip around to catch the night sights!



 


 






A beautiful end to a beautiful day!

  1. Beautiful pictures Bethany. I've never been to Quebec city but it looks very inviting. God grant you a good nights rest and some more wonderful sites tomorrow.
