Oh Canada 🎶🇨🇦, eh. Part sept

Two more Twin Citians flew in yesterday and joined us for their first bike ride today. So fun to have them in the group!  Off we rode for our first of 2 quided tours of Quebec City.  The theme today is history. This city was originally settled by the French in the 1600's. You all know about the squirmishes with England in the late 1700's and early 1800's. To make a long story short, the French stayed in Quebec but agreed to be ruled by the British. The fields of Abraham and the citadel were where many of the battles took place.  No evidence of it today, except for quite a row of canons and history plaques to read. The catch is to be able to read French ....

The bike tour took us across the St Lawrence River to bike along the river. Stopping quite often for a little history lesson. Oh, and to take several dozen pictures of the Frontenac.  Our guide opted not ride us across a 1917 very precarious bridge, instead the spacious ferry back to the old city. 

The afternoon provided us with lots of opportunity to walk ... Yup, up and down the little hill. We poked into the Frontenac, thought about checking in but quickly dismissed the idea when finding out the rack rate....

The capper for the evening was dinner at Cafe du Monde and fireworks above the harbor. Does our amazing trip planner know how to impress or what!?!?

Look sees of today's adventure:

Tomorrow our last bike ride in Quebec province, a nature ride. Not sure what that means... Read on tomorrow and find out!
