Quebec City

Wednesday was a little more trying than some of the other days. We woke up in the Mount Washington Hotel to cloudy skies and rain, sometimes hard rain. We checked out of the hotel and headed north to Canada. It rained all the way to the border, then stopped and we had dry roads the rest of the way into Quebec City.

Here is our only picture of the day, Hotel Frontenac, the landmark in Old Quebec. We are not staying in this hotel, because it runs about $350 per night and up. That is way out of our price range! We looked for a Motel 6 in a 200 year old building within the city wall, but no luck. We are staying at a smallish Hotel du Vieux Quebec, a mediocre hotel, but it is in a terrific location. We are within walking distance to everything!
We are planning to do some walking tours tomorrow, weather permitting, so hopefully we'll post more pictures tomorrow night. The weather forecast is poor, so we'll have to see what happens. We do have jackets and umbrellas, so we'll likely be out doing something!
