Wednesday in Québec

Another gorgeous day, we've been so lucky with weather.  We ate breakfast at the Cochon Dingue in Vieux Québec...the most amazing hot chocolate EVER.  Croissants as big as your head. 

We saw much of the new part of town by bus and then had time to explore Old Town and get lunch.  A lot of students tried poutine.  After lunch, we drove out of town up the river (area is called the Beaupré coast).  We visited the Basilica of Saint-Anne, an amazingly beautiful and unusual church.  We then went to the Paré woodcarving shop, where they used wood carvings to tell French-Canadian legends. 

Then on to Montmorency Falls, higher than Niagara (by about 30 feet).  Back in town, we ate dinner at Spag&tini, an Italian restaurant in Vieux Québec.  We walked around the old square before heading to the SS Louis Jolliet, our dance boat!  Another exciting and exhausting day!
