After reading the lists of "what not to bring" into Canada, we were a little worried because we had several illegal items in the camper - yes, we had three POTATOES left, which are apparently huge NO-NOs when crossing into Canada. We decided to brave it anyway, and crossed the border into Canada with barely a glance in our direction. The border officer didn't even want to stamp our passports, but Ricardo insisted, just so we would have some proof of the first border crossing of our trip.

Our first destination in Canada was Quebec City. We walked around the city admiring the sights and celebrated Ricardo's birthday with a lunch at a nice restaurant and a beer at (where else?) St. Patrick's Pub.

Quebec is a beautiful city. We had great weather and enjoyed the sights. For the first time for both of us, though, we found ourselves in a place where we were completely unable to communicate in the language and had to rely on finding people who could speak English with us. Note to self: learn at least SOME basic phrases in French before returning!

It looks and sounds wonderful. We've never been up north of Montreal and it is definitely on our list - for summer anyway.
ReplyDeleteHope you get the camper fixed and get back on the road soon!
You are smart to go there before winter sets in!
