End of Road Trip MN-ME 2007

Nevermind that I am atrociously behind in my summer blogging- these are the final photos of our trip out to Maine this summer. I've combined the Montreal/Quebec City photos into one Quebec post because I had to be spare with the camera- since we spent four days camping, there was no electricity to charge the battery. But let's not hesitate further, and just go ahead a get started, shall we? (I think if you click on the photos, they get bigger, if you're interested in any close-ups) Here's the only picture I took in Montreal, since we had both been there before and already had many at home:
While Toronto was a definite mix of US, Europe and Canadian influences, once we hit Quebec province it was like jumping the pond right into France. I was surprised that most people really didn't speak English outside of Montreal. But everyone we met was really, really, nice and with their efforts at English and ours at French, things worked out ok in the end.As we were driving through the little towns along the St. Lawrence River between Montreal and Quebec, each place would have a stone church like this anchoring the town center.
The famous Chateau at the top of Quebec City
The old part of the city is a maze of tiny winding streets with restaurants, shops, and galleries.

Pretty buildings and streets.Where's Juan?On our last night there, we had a picnic in the park. Though there was supposed to be music that didn't happen, we didn't mind. There were lots of other people there and we enjoyed the gorgeous weather and beautiful sunset from atop the hill. It was a lovely end to a great trip.
