Quebec City - Je me souviens

We had the pleasure of coming to la belle province for a few days with 2 days in Quebec City and one day/evning of fun for a wedding in Sherbrooke.

Old QC is truly something special and while I was annoyed at how touristy it was at times, the history, heritage and incredible buildings around every corner more than made up for it.

Truly a place everyone should make time for.

Salut

Beautiful. And for a minute there I forgot I was looking at a North American city. It looks so European to my eyes.

In fact, and of course except the mother tongue, this might be the Frenchest thing in there.

Easy, that's just kidding. We'd be bored if no one teased this world on here.

But seriously, those e-minibuses are kinda cool. Not to mention the Porsche.
There's likely more future in things like these than in war ships.

(Well, I suppose that there's a chance you didn't sleep there, and just went there to take a picture, because, you know, why not )
