Impressions of Quebec

Very busy, but part of the charm. Old stone buildings, stone streets, statues, history, markets, shopping, piles of restaurants and outdoor patios. A city best explored by foot and again so much to see and eat. Narrow roadways, secret little passages ways that open up into another beautiful spot hidden away. People are friendly and so proud of their town, they want to share the best there is to see.  Like the woman in the craft fair who was so happy to hear we were from Vancouver and wanted us to come up to Saguenay and to look her up so she could show us around, and the fellow at the information tourist centre who was super chatty and told us about the best poutine and all the things in the province to see. 
All the outdoor cafes with brightly coloured umbrellas, the flowers in the windows and doorways, the sun shining, all the people in their costumes smiling and the horse carriages giving tours, the clip clop clip clop. The large statues, the colours, the views of the St Lawrence, the churches,the breeze fluttering the many flags, the speaking of french, the cobbled streets, the traffic, the hoards of people. Oh don't get me started.
