We didn’t leave Bolton until 3 in the afternoon, arrived at Jean-Francois’s cousin’s home (Louis) for a steak dinner and then off to see Moulin a Images a show displayed on huge grain silos on the St. Lawrence depicting the history of Quebec. The show was stunning. We did not have cameras, but you can check out http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/etolane\/2656192442\/ to get an idea of what it was like. We checked out the music festival on the walk home.<\/p>\n
The next day we walked old Quebec, went to the music festival in the evening, and saw the Cirque du Soleil show that night.<\/p>\n
The next day we walked into downtown Quebec City again. The apartment buildings are old, and reminded me of Paris. The city is a mix of old and new that gives way to the historic part along the St. Lawrence split between a lower section and the upper ramparts. We walked all over the city, visited their summer music festival in the early evening, and went to the free Cirque du Soleil performance in a park that night. Quebec City is stunning, has amazing history, and I will definitely go back.\u00a0 It was an incredible day and a half.<\/p>\n
