It turns out that we’ve arrived in Quebec City in the middle of a major festival called Le Festival d’Été. The tour books and sites did not convey how busy this event is, and our hotel is in the heart of all the action. It was a stressful arrival, but once we parked our car and were able to travel on foot, it was much better. Enjoying a beer at a local pub and some good music helped too!
Tomorrow we are up and out early (sorry Mara!) and heading to the Citadel in time to see the changing of the guard.
Just some guys
