Sept 2nd
A gate to old city
We had scheduled a motor tour of the city with Old Quebec Tours and figured we use the tour as an overview so we would know what we wanted to go back and see later in our visit. Our tour guide was named Phillip and he was quite pleasant with a slight, but not bad, French accent. He did talk fast however, and since he had so much information to give us it was pretty overwhelming. Carol called his dialogue a “Berlitz Blitz”. When the tour was over we returned to the KOA for lunch and to pick up our tow car and return to the city.
We conducted our own walking tour of the city and the waterfront area with various stops for a Starbuck’s coffee and cookies and some gelato.. We ended our grazing with a small but tasty pizza at a small restaurant in the waterfront area.
Cirque du Soleil
After our pizza dinner we hurried to an area under a couple of freeway overpasses where we had read that there were daily shows by members of the Cirque du Soleil. We have seen Cirque du Soleil performances before in Las Vegas and really liked them.
On our way “home” from the show we passed some public buildings and a fountain along with a long series of old grain elevators that serve as sort of artistic movie screens at night. The photos are in this slide show.
