09-02-09 Walking tour of Quebec City

What is there to say?  Beautiful city.  French speaking people everywhere who are very tolerant of their English speaking, French deficient visitors.  We wandered from the our hotel in the city centre, adjacent to the University of Quebec to the Fort St. Louis area and the Quebec Provincial Parliament.   A vibrant, bustling city.  Lunch at a sidewalk Bistro.  Temperatures were in the mid 70's.

This evening we walked around the University of Quebec neighborhood.  Found a neat spot at Joseph Dion's tavern.  Linda has been experimenting with beer.  She has decided that she has taken a liking to Cheval Blanc.  I suspect that this isn't available in Iowa.  Food here is more expensive than in Iowa.  We wandered into another tavern that featured cheese burgers for $2.25.  We ordered two.  We shouldn't have. Clearly a you pay for what you get situation.  Food generally, has been more expensive but good.  This was an exception.  There were plenty of people out walking about.  We enjoyed the stroll back to our hotel room.
