Oh Canada 🎶🇨🇦, eh part six

Day 7, hotel # 7.  The good news is we get to stay here for more than one night!!  Who hoo!!

Our first day of touring on our own. Mark, of course, is at his favorite Marriott to which the initial gps route indicated 1.7 k and a 6 minute drive. We successfully managed to stretch transporting him from our hotel to his over 12k and about an half hour. Guess that takes some talent... :D. Thank goodness for our smart phones or I still would be circling the city....  

If any one of you reading this blog have been to Quebec City, you no doubt have discovered there really is only 2 directions....up or down. The city is a major defensive location on the St Lawrence seaway, established and built in the 1700's. The citadel has to be at least 1000' above the river. Quite a vantage point for sure. With the help of a funicular for a small portion of the climb, we scaled the hill up to the fortification and just made a tour of the governer General's complex and quarters. It was very impressive. He is chosen by the prime minister and appointed by the queen of England. Now the strong English influence of the changing of the guard makes sense.  Still trying to figure out how French is the primary language....stay tuned. 

Here are some of our sites and fun today:

Tomorrow first of 2 quided bike rides around Quebec City. Hoping for no rain tomorrow !  Besides, you are sure to want to see some pictures ....right?
