Okay, so I’m a little late posting these photos from our Sunday walkabout but that’s because the weather has been so damn good — sunny, warm and inviting.
Late or not, we took an early bus into the historic centre to go ambling about, taking in the sights like a tourist prior to seeing the French National Aerobatics Flight do a flyby in the afternoon. This was one of many international teams that had been in New York on Saturday for the 250th anniversary flight/sail extravaganza on the Hudson river.
They chose to do a flyby over Montreal and then us here, in Quebec City, on their way to Bagotville here in the province. Before flying back to France Monday. It was a treat to catch a glimpse of them fly up the St. Lawrence river.
Anyway, here’s a few highlights of some of the sights we took in.
We hung around in battery park to look out across the St Lawrence river to watch the planes fly by.
And two of Quebec’s many historic churches.
And, of course, we had a hearty lunch in the 1608 restaurant opposite the Chateau FrontenacYes, I had a smash burger, and who wouldn’t.
All that, and I didn’t get sunburnt!
