Last Day in Vieux Quebec

Nous aimons le Quebec, mais il est temps de partir.    We love Quebec but it is time to leave.

We ventured out in spite of a bad rain forecast, which turned out to be not so bad after all.  We went to the Quebec Parliament building and took the tour.  It was very interesting, and to make it even more interesting, one of the members of the National Assembly of Quebec was conducting a press conference while we were there. We watched it for awhile before starting our tour.

Jim conducting his own press conference.

The streets of Quebec are picturesque and inviting even in the rain.

Of course if all the great sidewalk cafes don't appeal to you, there's always McDonalds, although it didn't look like the typical Mickey D's.  Notice the dog in the window of the house next door!  (If you click on the picture it will enlarge.)

This is the narrowest house on the continent, according to one of the locals.

We're ready to leave and still haven't tried the wine vending machine.  We love the concept though!!

We'll spend a little more time in town tomorrow morning, and then we're heading up the St. Lawrence River toward the Gaspe peninsula.

Au revoir Quebec.  Je me souviens!
