Old town streets


Today we visited Quebec City. We camped in Levi, Quebec last night and took the walk- on ferry across the St. Lawrence River into the Old Town Quebec City. It is like going to France. Quebec City was a walled fortress. The whole old town is within these walls and set on a hillside. Lots of cement stairs to climb from one part of the town to another. There are many winding little streets, with old buildings from the 1800’s and lots of little outside cafes with umbrellas. We enjoyed a self walking tour and are plenty played out from all the climbing. Really a lovely day. Tonight we are camped outside of Quebec City on our way to Montreal. Thank goodness the people here at this campground speak English. It has been a little difficult trying to remember our high school French. People are always excited to see our license plates as they seem to have been or know someone from BC. It helps start a lot of conversations with locals wherever we go.
