Finally, the sites of Quebec City

We very much enjoyed walking and walking and walking around Quebec City.. especially the old town.  There was so much about it that was reminiscent of France, but then also lots that felt like America.  Zeric and I were endlessly amused with the accent in French, though mostly understood when people spoke with us. I was pegged as 'someone who learned French in Europe' as soon as I opened my mouth.  Zeris was great as always because he's so outgoing and just talks.. till he's understood ;)

So, here are a few sites that we enjoyed.. and thought you would too
Ministry of Finance,
it was a nice view when we were eating crepes as big as our heads


mural, in case you wanted to know what's going on inside

spray painted fleur de lis .. love it!
View of the old town from atop the protective wall around it

lots of evidence of readiness for past battles, even if rarely put to use!

break-your-neck stairs (their official title)
down was better than up!

the furnicular ... the kids decided that really, it was an elevator on the outside
We had a great time exploring--and eating our way through--this city!
