| Funiculaire |
After breakfast we walked to the center of Old Quebec, only a couple of short blocks. We took the Funiculaire, a tram that travels up and down the hill, to the lower city, which is even older than the upper. Strolled the streets , lots of boutiques.
Returned to the upper town and had lunch at a streetside cafe, then took a tour in a small bus to see the rest of the city. we saw the Plains of Abraham and the Citadel, where the French fought the British.

In the afternoon the streets were packed with people, I've never seen so many.They were 4 abreast in endless lines on every street. It is the first warm ,sunny weekend after the winter and the snow has just about all melted so everyone is enjoying the weather, it as about 15 C. For every ten people there was at least 1 dog
For dinner we got Marielle to phone in a pizza order for us from La petite Italie. I walked there and picked it up to bring back to eat in the room.
The pizza was small so I also picked up some sushi made by a white French Canadian, wasn't too bad.
Karen's knee was sore so she wanted to rest it .
Tomorrow we will make our way to Maine
