Suz and Jud Hit Quebec...




On our first glorious day, we saunter down the streets of Quebec, the buildings just as they were in 
the 1600's...


...and are greeted by Champlain, the founder of Quebec.


Of course, I have to stop at Notre-Dame-des-Victoires.  I love Catholic churches. They are each so unique.


For example, look at this Station of the Cross. Each is in a similar frame. I think I must have been  Catholic in another life. I came out with about fifteen holy medals to use in my jewelry.


Hanging from the roof of the church, there is a model of a sailing ship!


 Jud tries his hand at shooting a cannon...


...and we take the Funicular, a glass cable car, down the mountain to Lower Town.


Tired, but happy, we finish the day at our B and B. 

More fun tomorrow!
