The KOA outside Quebec offers a shuttle service to take us into Quebec; as we waited, I noticed this truck parked across the street:

They grow them big here in Canada…

The bus arrived promptly on time, and by 9:00 am we were in vieux cite Quebec.  First, of course, is the fortress!

The walls around the fortress provide wonderful views of the old city (vieux cite)…

The city plaza is dominated by a huge, old, hotel: The Frontenac. (It is now a Fairmont…)

As we love to do in cities we walked the streets. We love finding the quaint, beautiful, historic, and charming sites…

We even found the American Consulate, in case we got into trouble…

We also found that Quebecois like to have fun in the winter: on the town square is a sledding slide:

And, of course, what we also like to do is find a charming sidewalk cafe to enjoy lunch:

We ordered a bottle of wine…

Finally the duck confit arrived

2017-08-17 Quebec - Lunch 01

After lunch we walked some more, but then we needed to stop for some espresso while we waited for the shuttle to take us back to the Villa.

Back in the RV park, we met two other Airstreamers: one was from Connecticut; they were enjoying their 3rd new Airstream in the past year (16′, 22′ and now 25′).  I’m sure their Airstream dealer is driving a new car, too… The other Airstream was being pulled by a nice Mercedes GL350, that looked vaguely familiar. Once we got to talking, we realized that we had seen them in Lunenburg, NS, and they had met some of our fellow caravanners whilst they were there…!

So Happy Hours ensued; an enjoyable time was had by all…
