Quebec City

Internet service has been awful so we are far behind on our blog posts. We've now posted some new pictures on old posts.

We were lucky to be in Quebec City during the annual summer festival. In addition to the street performers, there was a children's festival area with rock climbing walls and concerts geared to children, a free Cirque du Soliel show, and large concerts held on the Plains of Abraham every night with headline performers such as Santana, Black-Eyed Peas and Rammstein. Near the marina is a huge grain elevator complex, at least a quarter mile long, where 5 nights a week a wonderful slide show depicting the history of Quebec was projected onto the silos. We watched it from the cockpit of our boat several nights and saw something different each time.

Margaret and Jon toured the city and also Ile d'Orleans. We'll add more about that later.

Capt. Mike joined us in Quebec City and will be with us for a month or so, through what we expect to be the most remote areas of the trip. His wife tells us he is a great cook so we plan to take advantage of his skill!
