Bonjour Quebec! Rooftop camping in Canada


With just a 6 hour drive from Amesbury to Quebec, we decided to do a quick jump up to the city and check out the food, culture and cheese. We picked up 91 in southern Vermont so we could stop at the King Arthur store. After that it was a quick 4 1/2 hours to Quebec.

 The rain held off for most of the trip, except for at night. A dreary forecast ended up being perfect weather with sunny skies for most of the day. Our campsite was 5 minutes from downtown Quebec. Camping Juneau is the name of the campground and Pierre at the restaurant makes a great Poutine. The only thing better than french fries is french fries with gravy and cheese. Sorry, no pictures, it was a messy meal and I didn't put down the fork.

We could move here, I think Taj might approve. Wonder what the mortgage for this neighborhood is...

La Fashionista! Vodka, Chambord, triple sec, cranberry, and raspberry




Look in the corner of the church for the wolf. They were scattered all over the city. It was fun looking for the "wildlife"



The style of the city was a mix of so many different cultures it is amazing. It feels like Amsterdam on one block, Paris on the next, Boston's north end, the hills of San Francisco or Edinburgh. Absolutely amazing.







Old meets new, with style. This is what I think of Quebec.
Hell yeah it's a monster truck with tank treads.
