It's been about 23 years since Deb and I first visited Quebec City. We we're much younger and so much in love. I'm glad to see that the city has had the same effect on both of us yet again.
It's an amazing part of Europe right here in Canada. Everything is just so continental. We all decided to leave the SUV parked in the hotel parking lot and take a shuttle bus down to the old town. From there we jumped on a Hop-On / Hop-Off bus that took us on a 1h 45M tour of both the old town and surrounding area. Again under amazing weather we were able to re-aquaint ourselves with Quebec City.
It's really been a walk down memory lane. And as result, we fallen for each other all over again.
Most of you know me as the shy, conservative type but I still managed to meet people from all over the world - on our shuttle, on our tour bus and even waiting line to get the shuttle home. We had a reasonable lunch at a restaurant in old town and then took the funicular back up to the top of the hill for just a little window shopping. We had to stop for the obligatory cup of gelato/ice cream - oh it filled the spot.
Then the winds came up, a cold front just after we watched the docking of the Celebrity Spirit dock up against the pier, which of course brought another 2000+ people into the equation. Things got busy and we decided to catch the first bus out of town to our hotel. Things are a little sketchy as to exactly what our destination will be for tomorrow with most recent hurricane activity from Irma that seems to be heading up the east coast - it just might change our travel plans as to the actual route we take. So tomorrow, we'll update you from either Bar Harbour, Massachusetts or Fredricton, New Brunswick.
Au Revoir from Quebec - next stop who knows.
Enjoy the Pictures !

Jean Ann Norris Glad you included a photo of the "funicular"--it was a new word for me! I hope the weather does not spoil a minute of your adventure! Love to you all!
Lers Shy conservative type! Sounds more like Deb. We've been on a few funiculars in our travels, beats hiking up the hill. Have fun! Les
