On a day that we had nothing planned, it will be raining all day. We decided last minute to take a boat tour up the St Lawrence river to see the Montmorency Falls.

We shared a table with Leslie and Cici both from Canada ( via UK and Rhode Island). Uneventful trip but nice company. Leslie said he had an ancestor who was a surveyor and surveyed the highest mountain in India many years ago. The English decided to name the mountain after him. Mount Everest!
As we wind down, Quebec City is a place that can be a four day/three night visit for the most part. We did enjoy not having to fight the big crowds that the cruise ships will bring.
One local store owner told us Quebec City gets busy in June until September.
Still raining as we make our way to restaurant Simsemilla outside of old Quebec City.
The Montreal Canadians were playing the Buffalo Sabres tonight so it was only us and one other table at this rustic restaurant.


We chose the fixed four course meal with wine pairings and were blown away. At one point the server was explaining all the layers we had on our plate and I noticed the ingredients were moving. He explained the mixture of hot and cold was causing this. So frickin cool.

We will have fond memories of our Quebec City trip.
