We are now sitting in the Quebec, Vieux Port looking up at the older part of the city. The skyline includes peaks of the Chateau Frontnac, an old seminary, and many different roof lines of the old homes. This is really a beautiful area!

I think we have worn out our guests with the climbing etc. of the hills.






It has been overcast with a bit of rain. Nothing of significance though...

We had lobster last night (at least the ladies did while the men had St. Hubert chicken. I think our dinner was better! Bev couldn't watch while I cooked them. She really enjoyed the flavour though! They were only $7.95/pound! At home is is 3 times that price!!!

We took some time to go to the Fort Chambly. JR being the history buff he is, really enjoyed this.





It was a good thing that we didn't leave a day later as they closed the locks past bridge 2 because someone fell off a pier and drown after a night out at the bar. They had to still find him so closed all of the downstream locks.

We started out for Sorel at about 1:00 pm (no one really paid attention to the time!).




When we cruised through Lac St. Jean, the shores were not visable due to the forest fires. It looked like rain... It also made the sun red (in sympathy for the lost wildlife and vegetation?)...
