Sept. 16 - Old Québec, QC

“Love is the food of life, travel is dessert.” – Anonymous 

Just a short blog today to let everyone know we left Montreal this morning and headed east. We arrived in Québec City around lunch and the weather is amazing...we've finally found some nice temps. It's been crazy hot here and in upstate NY this summer. We had a wonderful day wandering around Old Québec. I'll give more details (and pictures) when I have time. For now here's a look at the place we're staying and Stan's birthday dinner.

We ate at Le Lepin Sauté in the Petit Champlain neighborhood. This little street is in lower town...outside the city wall.

We had the Maple Whiskey Smoked Salmon for an appetizer, Stan had the trout and I had pasta with tomatoes, olives, kale pesto and caramelized nuts, and for dessert we had the deconstructed carrot cake.

Our loft is located in the walls of Old Québec City, it's close to everything. We are on the top floor...lots of narrow stairs...lots of exercise. This is our street.

This is our house

We have a small terrace, but to get out to it we have to go throw the window.

This is our view from the terrace the Château Frontenac in the back ground.

We have three flights of stairs from the street to our loft...and then one more flight up to the bedroom. These are the stairs from the loft going down.
