Once again, we walked our feet off today…. took a ferry (as passengers…left car in parking lot) across the St Lawrence River to Old Quebec City. There are so many interesting looking buildings there. So many statues and wonderful steeples. And we ate at a side walk café where we paid 6.00 for a hot dog & French fries. I can’t believe how expensive stuff is here. We paid 3.45 plus taxes for one small glass of beer! But it was a good day. Tomorrow we are driving back into the city to see the changing of the guard at the Parliament Building and an observation tower which boasts a breath-taking view of Quebec City and the surrounding area. We shall see.
We do not have wireless internet at our campsite unless we want to pay 10.00 per day! Ridiculous! But they do offer free internet using their DSL from a very nice desk area in their rec room. So that’s how it is. We will be leaving here on Wednesday and hopefully the next place will have wi-fi. We will be in New Brunswick. We’re told that wi-fi in Quebec is not all that common. I did buy a French-English dictionary just so that we could at least interpret the signs. Everything and I do mean everything is in French. I had to quess what the cashier was saying to me at the grocery store because she spoke absolutely no English! But groceries are the same in French as in English! JI am posting some pics taken today of Old Quebec City. I wish I could post more than I did because it is so interesting. But it takes so long to upload them to my web page.
So click here to see the new ones we took today.
