Monday 9/16

Left Quebec City this am, and drove along 440 east to Sainte Anne de Beaupre Basillica, and then the waterfall at La Chute Montmorency. Both were beautiful in their own way. One man made, the other, by nature. 
We then left the suburbs and drove to the border. First, we headed south via route 91, and then drove through the White Mountains along route 93. In Lincoln, we picked up the eastern drive (route 112) to Conway. So awesome!!!!
We are staying the night at Rocester, N.H.

Sunday 9/15

Woke up in beautiful Quebec City, in the old town, and walked over to the Citadel for a tour.
After this, we went for "pountine" at a local restaurant. Now we have had everything!!!!
We rested for a brief time, and went to an early dinner, at Lapin Sauté. (Yes, that's rabbit!!!!)
It was actually very good!!!!
Back to the hotel, and to bed.

Saturday 9/14

Left Amqui and travelled toward Quebec City via route 132  and then 20, since it is raining!!!!!
Came into QC and made our way to the chateau in the old city, the Frontenac, where we are staying.
Took a bus tour of the city, as it was late, and then went to a wonderful French restaurant for dinner. Fabulous food!!! The name of the restaurant is Echande, on Rue du Sault-au-Matelot, walking distance from the hotel. By the time we emerged from our dinner, the drizzle had dissipated and the skies were clear!!! Great for pics!!! To bed.

Friday 9/13

Left Prince Edward Island and Charlottestown via the Confereration Bridge. Hanne says that the Danes helped to build the bridge, but there is no mention of this.
After much discussion, we decided to travel to Quebec City along the coast making our trip to QC about 2 days, 12 hours total.
We rode through New Brunswick toward the  province of Quebec. Have stopped in Amqui, Quebec for the night. Had dinner and to bed.

Thursday 9/12

Left our resort and drove along route 4 north and 2 west into Greenwich National Park. we walked to the beach and saw the famous sand dunes. We next drove to Cavendish through "Anne of Green Gables" territory, upper middle PEI island. Wow! Lots to do with children in this part of the island. After we saw the green gables house and visited the town of Avonlea, we drove towards Charlottetown where we checked into our motel and then drove downtown for dinner. We ate oysters and mussels as we were instructed to do by Alexandra.
So now we have had Digby scallops, and Malpeque oysters!!!! We are sooo cool!!!!!!
To bed.
