July 31 -Aug 2 -Quebec City

We took the 10 minute ferry across the St.Lawrence River from Levis to Quebec City. Spent the day wandering through the narrow streets with quaint shops and a huge variety of eateries, many of them outdoors, in the lower town. Then took the funiculaire, a gondola on tracks, from lower town to upper town. Watched the street entertainers and buskers, went for a cooling cucumber cocktail on the upper patio of the famous Chateau Frontenac then took a horse and buggy tour around the Parliament area and the Citadel -so many buildings and churches, some from the 1600s.

Took a shuttle bus out to the falls at Montmorency where we watched theLoto Quebec International Fireworks competition (Italy night) set against the falls to the music of Celine Dion & Andrea Boccelli, Frank Sinatra and several other noteable Italian musicians. Really spectacular !! Caught the ferry back to Levis at midnight after a very busy but funfilled day with Sam & Connie. We need to come back here as there is SO much more to see.
