Quebec City! Awaking this morning with the sun peaking through the clouds and the dock workers busy with their cranes and front loaders filling the ship up for the next phase of the voyage. It was a constant activity for most of the entire day!Our morning will begin with the included tour, a bus ride around the important parts of Quebec City.
For a feeling of European culture, visit Quebec City. Everywhere the architecture confuses your mind to think”ah! Europe is lovely…. Except its North America!!
We drive by houses and stores in the old Town
I have no idea what most of these building are for, but I certainly enjoyed looking at them.
Lots of sidewalk dinning
It doesn’t show well but this light yellow building is curved.
One of the old city gates between lower city and Upper city
The oldest house in Upper town
More European architecture 
Look closely, there are giant lampshades covering the city lights surrounding the area of the Museum of art.
A view of the river and some fall colors
can you tell Im always looking for city art?
Im forever amazed by the fascinating artwork we’ve seen world wide.
The classic well known symbol of the city sits high in the Up town. The Le Chateau Frontenac. When we woke up in the morning it was one of the first things we saw high on the hill. It is included in every picture of the city. It was Never used as an actual chateau, it was always built to be used as a hotel. Dignitaries, Royalty and the very rich have all stayed there. 
Front entrance
Impressive!
The main lobby 
A huge terrace encircles the Chateau. From there you can see all of the lower town area and even the ships coming into port.
More artwork, old and new!After a walk around the chateau and terrace we drove out of town to see the Montmorency Falls. Even though this falls seems smaller compared to Niagara, it is over a hundred feet higher. 
A small waterfall and Autumn color on the way to the Falls. 
Walking along the boardwalk towards the falls

The obligatory selfie.. Im working on getting everything important in the picture!
There was a cable car up to the top of the falls and this guy…
