Quebec City

Went on another bus tour yesterday, to Quebec City up north. Very cute town with many old buildings and little shops. Reminded me a little of Rothenburg, even though it looks very different. Same concept though. Well preserved old town part with a city wall–the only one still existing on this continent north of the Mexican border. It was freezing cold though, mostly due to a fierce wind. Here are some pictures:

On the way we also went to see the Montmorency waterfall. It’s actually higher than the Niagara Falls but much narrower. In the peak of winter this waterfall is frozen… Yes, completely frozen. Up in Quebec City, the temperature drops to -40°C. Time to move on! Tomorrow, I’ll fly out to much milder Seattle.
