Today we took a bus tour of Quebec City. We went back to the Church of Notre Dame on Upper Quebec and it was open. This is the church built in 1688. The one picture is inside the church with a ship hanging from the ceiling. This was to bring good luck to the sailors coming up the St. Lawrence from Europe and back. We drove around Quebec for a couple of hrs. looking at various buildings, including the Citadel, which is currently a military base in Quebec. We then drove to the falls of Montmorency (picture). Roy and I walked up to the base of the falls until we started getting pretty wet. We went somewhat close than the picture. We then road across to the Island of New Orleans, a small island that mainly has farmers and rich people with summer homes. We stopped at a Chocolatier (there are lots of these in Quebec). Good thing we don't go into these shops often. Yummmm. We then drove to the Gilles family shop - a family that for over 100 years has been making copper art. This family (father) made the door coverings on the church we were going to visit next. On the way to the church we stopped at another temptation place - homemade bread with maple butter. This area has a lot of maple trees and lots of maple syrup available. Never thought of putting maple syrup into butter, but it's as good as honey butter. Our tour ended at Sainte Anne de Beaupie basilica, a church dedicated to St. Anne, the mother of Mary. This church was extremely beautiful but no pictures on the inside. I found a statue on the outside of Mary very interesting Mary is standing on the serpent (which has an apple in it's mouth). Enjoyed the symbolism there.
