Rimouski is a nondescript town, we really just stopped there to eat and get a night's sleep. We also waited out the bad weather -- a few hours of driving took us to the charming Quebec City on a brilliant Sunday. We first arrived at Levis, where we took the ferry across the St. Lawrence to Quebec City.

Rather hungry, after settling in we walked to a restaurant for some French fare.

On the plaze where we dined, there were some musicians playing, this is one dressed up like a pirate.

The city is full of charm, we walked from lower town to upper town, then around the citade, taking it all in.

But the best view of the city is at dusk, when it starts to glow.

A final shot of the Chateau Frontenac, a Canadian national historical site operated as a hotel, which is also the most dominating landmark of the city.
