NE Trip 2016
Day 6 - Fri Sep 2 2016

Had breakfast at Internationale - about 1/2 mile from our hotel.  Decent breakfast.
Packed up and took off for the Mile End section on Montreal.  I had Theo's address to use as a reference point.  We drove past his door about 11.  We were going to park and walk around, maybe hit Fairmount Bagel for lunch, but we decided to head straight out for Quebec City.

Got to our hotel in Old Town Quebec City about 3:30 PM.  I had to stop for about 15-20 minutes to rest my eyes.
The ride in wasn't as nice as some of the places we've driven through.  Passed through a lot of industrial looking areas.  Still, the old city made us forget that.

Checked in then hit the hills of Quebec to get to the area where a ton of shopping and eating places were.  Just a few blocks away, but a lot of steep streets.  We ate at a nice place.  I had lamb, Janice had Coq Au Vin.  We both liked our food.  We walked around some more then headed back to the room.  We rested for 10 -20 minutes then went to look for a free circus performance at the waterfront.  As we pulled up we saw this amazingly long line of people.  It was the line of folks waiting to get into the circus performance.  Turns out we missed getting in by about maybe 50 people.  That little rest probably cort us the circus tonight!  The place, an outdoor theater only holds 3000 or so.  We'll try again tomorrow but get there earlier - by 6:30 PM.
They will be doing it nightly till Monday night.  Not sure how many days they do it, but apparently the city pays for this type entertainment every summer.

We walked back thinking we'd go to the train station where the concierge told us there was music tonight.  We ran into a local young woman who walked with us and told us more about places to go to tomorrow.  Very nice young lady!  The train station place wasn't that exciting so we didn't stay.  We hung out at the colorful fountain for a few minutes then walked back to the hotel - looking for a place with a decent dessert.  We decided instead to go back to the room and eat the remainder of the cookies we had gotten from the last Hilton we stayed at in Montreal.

Hopefully we'll see some interesting things tomorrow based on what the nice young lady told us tonight.
