We are now very far inland on the river. We will be here for two days. I cancelled our horse drawn carriage for the second day because we have bad colds and may not want to be outside long. We are taking a morning bus ride. The highest point in the city is occupied by a Fairmont Hotel. That was where we were heading. We traveled through many neighborhoods before reaching our destination. The tour guide said she couldn't take us inside but we could sneak in for five minutes. We did! When Quebec was being built there were not professional glass makers. The inhabitants tried their best. You can identify the oldest buildings, like this one, by looking for small squares of glass in the windows. Quebec is a walled city with most of the buildings old and interesting. We now returned to the ship and since we were having a rare sunny day decided to push it and walk the route our horse carriage would have taken us. We went to the antique section of town first and found a tiki. They are made by someone in town. $300 but we didn't buy it. Reminds me of Disneyland tikis. Dan and I love cats. We didn't go into the museum we were now headed to the upper and lower famous old town shops. So we wondered around and enjoyed the foreign feel of the streets. Exhausted from our colds it was time to return to the ship. Day 16 we woke to rain that didn't end the entire day. The horse ride was probably canceled. We are so lucky that we did it all the day before. Our cruise is on it's last day. Tomorrow we will reach Montreal and be on our own. Cheers, Wendy
