Spent a few days in Quebec recently ... obviously, the place sucks. I learned something new from this sucky view too. When there is a double rainbow, the colors in the outer rainbow are in reverse order from the inner rainbow. I think this is the first time the outer rainbow has been clear enough to notice that.

Someone makes a modified Jeep which goes in the water. Jay Leno had a pair of them on his show. The wheels fold up and they go fast on the water.

I know that view. How was your stay at the Frontenac? Mrs. Altair and I honeymooned there in the 1980's. I think it was a CP Hotel at that time. To be honest, we loved the location, the lobby, and the exterior, but the room was terrible. Furniture was shabby and dirty and, I kid you not, the door to the room had a gap at the bottom that was like 2 or 3" - just what you want on your honeymoon for that privacy feeling!! We moved to the Concorde after a day or two.

Quebec is way cool. If it were more convenient to the west coast, I would be a frequent visitor. Beautiful city and how refreshing to hear French spoken about.

this car must have burned last night as it was not there when I went home. I love the tow warning on that I am sure someone will drive it off right away.

Originally I read your post about Quebec City with a sucky view and thought, are you kidding me? one of the prettiest places in N. America but reading through the sarcasm. Quite the contrast from where fooferdoggie is riding! Maybe the owner of that car parked in a reserved spot?

It was really great! They must have upgraded it because our room was quite nice. I should have taken a pix of the inside for posterity before we messed it up. lol

There was a plaque in the lobby of the Frontenac about how Churchill and Roosevelt met there during World War II. I wanted to put a sticky note on it with this addendum: "and they haven't changed a damned thing since." It took a couple of months to get my money back.
I agree that Quebec City is way cool. It's the closest thing to being in Europe while staying on this continent. So much history. We enjoyed Montreal, too. Great food scene.

Taken today too bad the bike ferry was broken down as this turned to the end of the line. Maybe next year.
