Quebec

Ed and I visited Quebec City.  This is one of many beautiful buildings in the plaza of old Quebec.

The streets were busy with tourists from around the world.

This T Shirt caught my eye; I had to buy it for Ed.  He wears it with pride, as we lived in he Rockies.

A side street in the City, It accommodates retail as well as residents.

A view of the City of Levis across the St Lawrence River.

One of many street performers in the City.





 The lobby of a hotel in the old city.

A view of the Chateau in the old town.

The fort is an active army base...

We took a drive to Orleans Island which is across the river from Quebec City.

We left Quebec City and headed to the Gaspe Peninsula.  The views of the St Lawrence were spectacular.

Church steeples tower over many towns on the coast.

The properties are well manicured everywhere.



Forillon National Park is at the end of Gaspe Peninsula.  The settlers had a rich history of fishing in the 19th century.

We spent the day in Forillon Park, visiting many beautiful sites.

The beach house, in the 1900's and ramp carry the cod to the processing area on the homestead in the nest photo.

The cod was processed by the families.  Here, you see the drying racks made of wood.  The drying process took 3 weeks.

Forillon National Park.

Lighthouses are essential on the coast. This lighthouse is on the north side of Forillon Park.

Rocks jutting out of the water have amazing views.  This is the view entering the town from the south on highway 132.

Another view of the rock from the north.
