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.
Canon's facing the St Laurence River. A real canon ball lodged in the tree for hundreds of years!
Me and a canon. The Citadelle which houses the Royal 22nd Candian Regiment
While more French speaking than Montreal, the people in Quebec City were just as friendly and willing to speak English.
Welcome!
Hi everyone! Hope you enjoy the photos and my commentary!
