Quebec City in October

These are all from the L'isle d'orleans - an island in the St.Lawrence which is full of small villages churches and farms. These stone houses with bright red metal roofs - great for the heavy snowfalls they get - are quite typical. We ate dinner at this highly recommended restaurant which was originally an old flour mill dating back to the 1700's. It was charming, the food was superb and the service was excellent. I loved the presentation as much as the food itself. The pile of pumpkins was outside the fruit stand where I bought some maple syrup.

This misty picture is of the creperie where we had lunch in the old city. It was pouring rain all day and we managed to get a parking spot right in front of the restaurant, which for the old city, is quite remarkable. Well, Doug popped the 2oonie into the meter, but it wouldn't register. We took a chance on not getting a ticket, because it was such a miserable day, but unfortunately, the rain didn't deter the meter man! We called the # on the ticket and explained, so we now have to write a letter to plead our case. Let's hope Quebec is kind to its tourists!

These pictures are of the National Assembly and also the chapel that is now part of the Museum of French America which we toured this morning.
