Le Haute Ville.

8-19-10 QUEBEC CITY, CANADA: Today was another beauty, and we explored the upper old town, le haute ville. We walked uphill from the hotel on rue St-Louis which is festooned with flags and banners and street signs. From Porte St-Louis, one of the gates in the city’s wall, we walked around La Citadelle and back to the hotel. Later we did lunch on the Grande Allée Est at another outdoor place named St. Hubert. After lunch we walked the battlements, hit the outdoor art kiosks, took in another street show, acrobat couple, and took a break before dinner.

Dinner, our first indoor meal in two days, was at ‘Restaurant initiale’ on rue St-Pierre—fabulous. Check out www.restaurantinitiale.com, the courses were very complex with multiple tastes and textures of similar and contrasting foods and surprising combinations. NYC level of sophistication, worth a trip.

Vermont tomorrow.
