You two are the best travelers. I can't believe the girl gave you such bad service after you suffered climbing or riding in a small square box to get there. The evening meal made up for it.<br /><br />One great thing about traveling is that you walk so much that you can eat more than usual. I'm loving your trip.

Chateau Frontenac, looks wonderful and the views are simply stunning. <br /><br />I went into a Christmas shop when we were on holiday in Belgium, but Terry point blank refused to go through the door declaring he would look at Christmas things at Christmas and not during his summer holiday!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing all your delightful photos and also for the tip about sea salt, I will stop looking for the pink variety now. <br />Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962552429792516213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-47516937963249328162017-09-05T05:41:51.291-04:002017-09-05T05:41:51.291-04:00What a great trip you had, Jeanie!

Not sure about that Poutine, though I'd probably try it off someone else's plate if ordered. ;) So glad your evening meal was much better--NICE menu! The Chateau Frontenac is very incredible and beautiful--and such views from the top! Interesting with the wine bottle changes through the years! WOW--an all year Christmas store, those are fun. And that one in Quebec is fantastic--WOW! Can't wait for day 3!! :))) ((HUGS))Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09179096002434748927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-74405218016257787362017-09-04T21:27:58.330-04:002017-09-04T21:27:58.330-04:00Jeanie, it seems you made the most of a rainy afte...Jeanie, it seems you made the most of a rainy afternoon with plenty of interesting things to do.

I did the steps instead of the funicular the first time I was in Paris - the next time I visited Montmartre, I took a metro with a elevator that took you to the top!! That is a bummer that your service and food were disappointing! I am glad that dinner made up for it. It's nice that Qeubec seems to have the same prixe fix menu that you will commonly see in Paris - I love having 3 small courses and getting to try a couple of things. I wish that was more common in the states!<br /><br />That wine and china display is so interesting - and right up your alley! And the view from the top is beautiful! We actually have a state park close by called Frontenac - I will have to look into the source of it's name! I'm hoping to get there this fall as it's a beautiful area to view the fall colors!<br /><br />One thing I love about traveling (among MANY things) is that you tend to walk to/from dinner, which gives you a chance to digest things on the walk home! We walked to a local malt shop last night for dessert and I was glad for the nearly mile walk home as I felt overly stuffed after that indulgent, but delicious dessert!<br /><br />LOVE these posts!

I would like to visit this charming place now. I really like the art piece of the people in the rain with their umbrellas. The blue china display is beautiful. You know, blue china is the prettiest to me, not sure why. wow, that funiculaire is right in the middle of the streets; that must be accessible for all the people going to and from.

Wow. We walked around inside but never thought of going upstairs. That'a gorgeous view and the garden was definitely a view for looking down on. When we walked down the Governor's Promenade it went from sun to pouring rain back to sun. It reminded me of the art you showed today with the umbrellas. :) I love all the flowers-it's so beautiful. I enjoyed today's journey.

The window boxes along the streets are so charming, and I'm so glad you went up into the Frontenac - those views were ours too! Your restaurant sounds like a nice sale to the abrasive treatment prior to, and even the Christmas shop is one we strolled into! I must say, that Governor's Promenade looks totally wonderful too (note to self for next time!).
