I’m back from Quebec and making one big post to celebrate my good friend turning 70! What a whirlwind of a trip. We spent time in Montreal where I caught up with a high school bestie that I haven’t seen in over 20 years. Other highlights were walking around Old Montreal and the Aura show at Notre Dame Cathedral. Then we headed off to Quebec City on Via rail. That was really fun and they have amazing customer service and the train is so spacious after airline travel I couldn’t believe the comfort. In Quebec city we stayed in a cottage built in 1840! A few pics of that space at the end of the post. Highlights would be The Citadel (built solely to defend against another attack from the Americans), Hotel Frontenac, Montmorency Falls, the food and the Old City area! ❤️canada
