Quebec City 6/12/08

Hello - we are leaving Quebec City this morning - heading back to Plattsburg, NY. We did a city tour yesterday and love this historic city, which is about the same size as Nashville but much much older. The building our hotel is in was built in the 1700's. This area was first settled in the 1600's and has changed hands between the French and the British several times before finally becoming Canadian. The old city is so much like European cities that you would swear you were in France, Belgium or Switzerland. Most people spead English in addition to French so it is easy to navigate.

There is lots of news here about a possible strike by the Canadian National Park workers, closing the Richleau and Trent Severn Canals. I'm beginning to think finishing this trip is not in the cards. Don't know what we'll do if we cannot use the canals. None of the other option are great.

See you out there somewhere. . . .
