The city of Quebec is photogenic! We had a relaxing and interesting day walking all around the neighbourhoods and visiting places, such as the farmer's market, chocolate museum, and the oldest established grocery store in North America, J. A. Moisan, where we ate a delicious lunch of regional specialties served by a lovely young man (he told Y she speaks French nicely - may be the Italian accent she picked up from Aunt Bianca when she stayed with her a few times and learned some French). We also visited the Legislative grounds and Notre Dame, where there were some fantastic planters outside! Our day included mailing another package home from our textile purchase yesterday and in New Brunswick and picking up cash for upcoming B&B stays. Y is really enjoying speaking French (this has been since about day 10 - we are now at day 22, including days of rest & exploration - tomorrow is ride day 18 of 22). We visited the neighbourhood of the Peace youth hostel where B stayed when he hitch-hiked across Canada at age 18 and travelled back by train when he was 20. A stunning day in the city and and a wonderful relaxing day before the final five days of riding into Ottawa.
