Nov 2 Quebec Quebec

 We finally broke free of Montreal and went down the river to Quebec. No excursion this time, we'll explore on foot. We've never spent much time in the lower city until our first visit here a week ago, so there's lots to see.

There's a shuttle from the ship that drops us off only 1km from the city.

I guess we're in Quebec

 

Here's a closeup of the center bottom portion of the mural I posted earlier so you can see Champlain and hockey playing children.

  Notre-Dame des Victoires church at the location of Champlain's first habitation. 

 

Shopping street in lower city. Empty early on a Sunday morning. 

 I'm not coming back in January.

 

Even the fire escapes are pretty 

 We took the funicular to the upper city

 Once again on the upper boardwalk in front of the Hotel Frontenac

 

We hiked further into the upper city. This is Chalmers-Wesley United Church

Just some old houses, still occupied, in Quebec

As we walk back to the shuttle bus stop we pass some of the fortifications along the river. Here the cannon is protecting the funicular.
