more Quebec City

July 30- We did NOTHING today but a couple loads of laundry. There was a big gathering of people to play a bocce tournament in fromt of our rig, as we are parked on the former volleyball court. i would like to say that as we have traveled through the Province of Quebec we have seen people bicycling. Sometimes it appears that it is a club biking together. we have seen children practicing Soccer with their coach. at that recreation area there is a hockey rink that appears like an above ground swimming pool. we have seen alot of the hostas with purple blooms.
July 31-We took the ferry back over from Levis to Quebec City. we chose not to go to the top today. we took a horse drawn tour that took about 35 minutes. Some additional information given. i was impressed that the lower city had been built on been on filled in area that had once actually been the St Lawrence River and thee are two streets that flood occasionally still. We ate at an Italian restaurant called Spag&tini/ le risto! We walked around for a bit for MORE photo ops and then returned to the RV.

Montmorency Falls

Chute Montmorency (Montmorency Falls) are at the mouth of the Montmorency River where it drops over the cliff shore into the Saint Lawrence River. the falls were named by Samuel de Champlain in honor of Henri II, duc de Montmorency, who served as Viceroy of New France from 1620-1625. These falls are 98 feet higher than Niagara Falls the basin at the foot is 56 feet deep.

Until next time
