We've been in Quebec a day and a half and seem to have walked miles - around the Citadel, through Bas Ancien Quebec down by the St Lawrence River, across the Fields of Abraham (the old battlefield),

| The Frontenac |

| Bas Ancien Quebec |
 |
| Le Marche |
and up and down most of the narrow winding streets. Our B&B, Maison James Thompson, is right in Old Quebec, so we've been able to just park the car in the tiny courtyard and walk everywhere. The Marche is impressive with the care vendors take displaying their fresh produce, and such produce! Fortunately we had eaten a big breakfast and so weren't tempted. Meals out in the evening have been outstanding, from poached salmon in hollandaise sauce to lobster pizza, though it's been necessary to indulge the French cuisine and go off our vegan track. So, if we were going to deviate, we decided we might as well have tiramisu and creme brulee for dessert last night! Mmmmm....
Tomorrow we'll drive out to the big waterfall northeast of the city and probably explore the broader area a bit, and then Friday we head for Baxter State Park. It'll be quite a contrast going from our B&B to a campsite, and we heard it'll be pretty cold, but our new tent should keep us toasty - we hope.

It looks beautiful! I love all those old buildings and streets.
I want to be there!! Stay warm in your sleeping bags!
The picture of Bas Ancien Quebec reminds me of Bremen. Very picturesque!
