June 24 Wednesday Saint -Jean Bapteste day. a holiday in Quebec. We decide we didn't want to go into Quebec City on such a holiday . Bill washes the rig outside and also does the laundry. We get ready to leave tomorrow for the Gaspe peninsula. Don't know how available WIFI will be. No wonder the Conde Nast travelers magazine 2008 ranked Quebec city 3rd among top tourist travel destinations in the Americas (outside the USA) and 19 in the world. Travel and Leisure magazine ranked Quebec 6th among 10 best cities in Canada and USA ( worlds best award 2008).
Reflecting- We left the modern world behind and were mesmerized by the charm of quaint village that transported us to another time and place. It was as if we experienced a time warp and landed is France. Narrow cobbled streets,music, cuisine,plus streets brimming with artist shops, entertainment and sidewalk cafes were very European. The clip-clop rhythm of horse 's hooves pulling tourist-laden carriages led further charm to the scene. Definitely a must see.
REMEMBER-By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends
