Yesterday we went to Old Quebec City. We are staying on the south side of the St. Lawrence river, so drove into Levis (pronounced Leevee) and took the ferry directly to Old Quebec City.It rained last night. The weather was supposed to clear up by noon, but for now we wanted to beat the weather to Quebec. We did it! A few drops on the ferry and then nothing more. The old part of the city is incredible. Old, old buildings and very narrow streets.

The old city is incredibly hilly with horrendously steep roads etc. I keep trying to picture someone learning how to drive with a standard transmission. Clutch repair must have been a huge business in the 50's and 60's. We went up to the citadel at the top of the cliffs overlooking the city. From where the ferry docks to the citadel is a climb of 182 metres. Why do we keep looking for hills and stairs? But the view from up there was pretty impressive. With Quebec being 400 years old and all, Mary thought it'd be a great place to go ghost hunting, but all I found was-----Mary! There's lots of artwork and music throughout the city. We stopped and listened to a symphony orchestra for a bit and saw this awesome mural painted on the side of one of the buildings.

Anyhow, we're leaving Quebec tomorrow and heading for Moncton. We figure we'll take a couple of days to get there. It'd be a big drive to do all at once and our reservations at Camper City isn't until Thurday anyway, so there's no hurry.
