In Quebec City - First Encounters

While on our brief family vacation last week we visited our dear friends John and Sally Patrick and the city of Ottawa, and then travelled on to Quebec City. See the official postcard collection of the city here.















Walking up from our first parking space (Angela, Hannah, Celeste, Gideon).




















A sculpture celebrating William Price, the 19th century lumber magnate.




















Our first close-up view of Le Château Frontenac, the old railroad hotel at the heart of old Quebec City.




















Another view of the Château Frontenac.















Placed over an archway into the front courtyard of the the Château, this stone memorializes an earlier building on the site.

Sarah and I took our honeymoon in Quebec City. We stayed mostly in the Old City right during the middle of the Festival of New France. We didn't have a camera at the time, so I'm relying on memory, but your pictures of William Price and the Chateau Frontenac are very familiar.
