A Car In The Doorway

 

I never did figure out the story behind this Fiat parked in what looks to be the entrance to a cafe or gallery. I only saw the doorway opened once so never got the story. It makes for a great shot though.

Contrasting Hotel

 

As a complete contrast to yesterday's large hotel, the vast majority of hotels in old Quebec City are small like this one which looks like it is in what had been an old house. Cute isn't it?

A Grand Hotel

 

This is the Chateau Frontenac hotel, one of the grand railway hotels built by the Canadian Pacific Railways in the late 1800s. It was built in 1893 and sits at the edge of the upper old Quebec City and looks down across this wide boardwalk to the St Lawrence River. There are over 600 rooms in the hotel which is a designated historic site.

Open Walls

 

Another mural found in the lower town in old Quebec City, this one shows what we might have seen going on behind the walls of the building in the past. Unfortunately that gate was always closed and locked so we see only the upper floors with many different activities.

A Chapel

 

This small church is the chapel of the convent of the Ursuline nuns. It was quite pretty inside and out. They also had a museum showing the history of the nuns in old Quebec City.

A Boy With Bears

This boy with his teddy bears was spotted in the front garden of a home that had been converted from a monastery to a house. The artist is Willie Verginer.  I hope the bears can count as creatures for Saturday's Critters.

Evening Meal

 

There are a lot of restaurants in old Quebec City but also a lot of tourists so reservations are usually needed. In the evening all the lights come on and the streetscape is wonderful. I particularly liked the look of this one.
