Vieux Quebec

After a harrowing journey through the heart of Montreal in a three ton truck and camper combo (sorry, not available at your local McDonalds) we made it to Quebec City and its beautiful old town. It has been tastefully maintained and offers a wholly European feel without leaving North America.

Having spent a summer here 17 years ago, Tina was entranced once again by the city's beauty and flair.

Charlie found that this touristy part of Quebec actually offered bilingualism and pleasant service for anglos instead of the taciturn service that we generally found in the rest of the belle province ( it does have the best roads however)(The IGA in Riviere du Loup had one of the best delis to be found in a supermarket, a good selection of wine, a brilliant beer selection and our favourite brand of Italian coffee and for a good price as well). The belle province was better than Charlie (the anglo and ardent Canadian nationist)expected and all that Tina remembered.
