Oct 9-12 - Levis, QC





















We checked into Camping Transit in Levis, just across the river from Quebec City. We took the 10 minute ferry back over to Old QC and took a 2 hour bus tour of both old and new QC. We stopped for lunch at an old inn only to be evacuated before our tortierre arrived. We still don't know what that was all about but 6 fire trucks, ambulance, a miriad of police vehicles arrived and roped off the street, then half an hour later everything left ???
Next day we drove over the pierre LaPorte Bridge into new QC and took in some new sights. Many huge old estate properties and homes in the Laval University district. We treated ourselves to a Thanksgiving brunch atop the tallest building in town, the Lowe's Concorde Hotel. What a bountiful spread of fruit platters, cheese platters, fresh seafood platters, eggs florentine or salmon with the usual sausages, bacon & ham, roast beef, veal, and on and on, finishing with chocolate fondue and chocolate mousse in solid chocolate cups. YUMMMMM. This was the first time Art & Anita had experienced a meal in the sky (he has a problem with heights) so they have now checked that off the bucket list. They both really enjoyed the meal and the incredible view on a picture perfect day for the couple of hours we were up there. By the time we left, the wind was really howling and by turkey time that evening we were in a short snow blizzard. Thankfully, the snow didn't stay but it has been really chilly this week.
