Quebec City

Jeremy and I left to go to Montreal on a Wednesday (which was not the plan! We were supposed to leave on Thursday). We got to Quebec City late Wednesday night and decided we would just get a hotel room for the night and start our site seeing in the morning. However, we got lost looking for a hotel. We determined that I suck with a map, but I have to admit by the time we started heading home from Montreal, I’ve improved greatly in my map reading abilities!

Thursday morning, we rose fairly early and headed down to the continental breakfast, which filled us up to start our day. We packed up our stuff and headed out to Old Quebec City, and let me just say it was amazing! I have never been to Quebec City and have only driven through Montreal, so this trip was quite exciting for me, so many new things to see and do….and so much walking!!!!! Thank heavens I’d started going to the gym the month before, it really helped me handle the walking…cuz it seems that’s all we did was walk! lol

I know there may be others to read this who have never been to Quebec City, don’t worry…
Jeremy took about 1000 pictures! So our trip is well documented!



These are the gates going into Old Quebec City. History has always amazed me

and to think that 100’s of years ago this was a fort and the people felt safe inside the walls. I would like to go back someday to get a tour so I can learn all the history of the City and what not, I know I could read it online, but really…it’s much more fun to learn this stuff when you are there. Apparently, November/December are NOT hot tourist months and there were no tours. We walked around the city and seen so many cool things, the architecture is amazing.

city inside walls…it just amazes me…can you imagine what I will be like in Scotland?!?!?!? Yup, I’ll be in awe and I’m sure that Jeremy will be excited to see the pictures that I take while I’m away, altho, it will be weird not having my own photographer! I hope I don’t forget that I have to take the pictures!!! LOL




We walked all around Quebec City, from the top to the bottom, once we got to the bottom we took a elevator type thing to the top again!

This road which we took to get down the hill, was really made of bricks which made it kinda lop sided and bumpy. Jeremy told me that when he lived in St. Jean he used to come biking to Quebec City and he said he always had fun going down that particular road with all the bumps.

The elevator to the top was pretty cool, of course Jeremy seen a photo op and he grabbed it. He’s snapping pictures the whole way up the hill! LOL



We also went to a museum while we were there. My first ever REAL museum. I learned all about Indonesia, Quebec, Catholicism, Quebec Films, and I don’t know there was another section there which was done with Cartoon things (can’t even remember the name of the cartoon, maybe someone will remember it from the pictures) any ways, I found that part the most boring and I could not wait to get out of there! LOL I will add pictures of the museum in another post, as there are enough pictures in this one already.

Overall, my first museum experience was a good one, it was definitely educational, and I hope that I get to go to other museums in the future, which I am sure that I will.

We left Quebec City in the early afternoon and decided to head for Montreal. I drove to Montreal, and I have to say that was the MOST boring drive ever, Jeremy had the luxury of sleeping the whole way.

This is a Hotel in Quebec City and I don't remember the name of it, I just remember Jeremy telling me how expensive it was to stay there. So we took some pictures of the outside and then some more of the inside! Might never get to stay there, but I know what it looks like on the inside!
