Quebec across the river

We drove up to Quebec from Montreal this morning, a distance of about 140 miles. Not too bad a day on the road but lots of traffic and the road was good some of the time and rough at other times. We parked the trailer at Camping Transit, a RV park about 6 miles from the ferry terminal that we will use tomorrow to go to Old Quebec.

Old Quebec sits on the St Lawrerce River and since we were on the South side it made a good picture. The city consists of a lower town and a upper town. In the early days the upper class (officials and well to do folk) lived in the upper section while the working class occupied the lower city.

This is the Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac which was a famous meeting place for heads of state during the mid 1900's. It's now a hotel but it still is the most prominent building on the Quebec skyline. There will be lots more here about Quebec at the end of the day tomorrow.
