Vacation: Canada Pt 2 Quebec City

We drove 2 hours north of Montreal to Quebec City situated on cliffs above the St Lawrence river. Here the French defended themselves against the British in 1759, but lost when the British General James Wolfe scaled the cliffs to surprise the French troops situated near by.

While more French speaking than Montreal, the people in Quebec City were just as friendly and willing to speak English.
