A beautiful day in Quebec

Woke up to a sunny clear day...yes, cold, but clear.  Walked to Baguette & Cie for baked goods and hot beverages.  Then through Vieux-Québec for shopping and general milling about.  Took the funiculaire up to the Château Frontenac.  Got lunch at a creperie, then back to hotel to recuperate!  Heavy rich crepes are good, but zapped my energy.

We walked out to the area of town where the parade would go on, and went to a movie while waiting:  The Last Quartet.  Yea.  Meant to see The Quartet, as advertised, but guess that was a case of false advertising.  Thank you Movies app.  Still, it was good.  Waited half an hour after the official start of the parade before floats started showing up.  Very fun and energetic, but simply too cold.  We left halfway through, caught a cab back to the hotel.  Did dinner at the hotel restaurant, delicious!

  1. Oh my do those crepes look good! I am so hungry for crepes! I bet they don't make their crocque monsieur out of wonder bread and invisible ham there either--like Dad and I had in Naples, yesterday LOL!
