Quebec City and Montreal, Canada

Our last 2 ports of call were Quebec City and then Montreal. In Quebec we had hired a private guide for a walking tour. His name was Guy (pronounced Gee) and he was wonderful. His guiding was more like having a conversation with a friend so I took very few notes. I also took very few photos. We walked on the boardwalk near the Chateau Frontenac and heard about how the city was formed.

We saw several churches, heard stories about early people who started schools for the Native People and the French communities. We heard about first the French coming and then the British. We saw the Plains of Abraham where a big battle was fought, that only lasted 10 minutes but had great impact in the development of the United States. He explained how the conflict between the French and British actually led to the establishment of our country.

We walked for 2.5 hours and then enjoyed a local lunch with him.

In Montreal, we just grabbed a map and wandered. It turned into a hot day and we needed to pack to leave. Some photos of what we saw.
