C'est Bon!

Bonjour! Another magnificent day in Old Quebec, the only walled city north of the Rio Grande. Note the mural on the far right. It depicts the prominent lifestyles and people throughout the last 400 years of the city.

 

Here we are not quite right-angled with the world, but protected from vigorous winds in our new high tech rain jackets, and one of us in a new beret.

Always connected... Yes, that's a bicycle poised to ride the wall, one of many.

Unfortunately for those young boys, a man in a beret does not always know French so they had to do their translating homework on their own in the Quartier Petit Champlain, the oldest part of the town.   

Lunch at Le Cochon Dingue (The Crazy Pig). No pig on our plates, of course.

The words (in Italics) of Louis de Buade de Frontenac, Governer General of New France, in 1690 in reply to English envoys delivering terms of surrender.

I like old doors. Here's one.

A gateway of another kind - transformed into a living kind. The Hope Gate. 

Check it out up close.

A vista from a high point along the trail around La Citadelle. We just completed our circumnavigation of the entire walled city. 

Frontenac, Fleuve Saint-Laurent and man in a beret. Our B&B La Marquise de Bassano rests one block down from the building on the far left.    

We wish you all well.
