Arrive at Quebec City

Most museums in Quebec are close on Monday during the winter months. I have a simple breakfast in the hotel cafe and took the bus to Quebec city. Again,most museums there are closed. I walked along Grand Allee to a shopping part of town call Ave Cartier.This is slightly out of the tourist region and the shopping is more for local and day to day use. More Target than Macy's. Grab a quick dinner of poutine(french fries with gravy and cheese curd, taste pretty good, but bad for your arteries) at Chez Ashton and then went back to the hotel.


The hotel was offering a free evening tour of old Quebec. After the tour, I went to a local bar and tried the ice cider. The cider is alcoholic, a little tart with a hint of sweetness. I enjoyed it very much.

Went to sleep early because of the long day ahead.
