Quebec is a very cool place. After being here for a few hours you forget you're in North America! The narrow Cobblestone streets are lined with shops, bakeries, cafes and pubs.
The snow does not seem to slow anyone down. There's about 6 feet of it along the streets and anywhere the plows can't reach. It's been falling almost continuously since we arrived. I heard today that this year they have had the most snowfall since the mid-1960’s and it should top 7.5 meters today. For the metric limited out there, that’s well over 20 feet!
Here's Allie near the ramparts of the fortification that surrounds the old city. The French started building it to keep the British out, then the British continued to keep the French out. By the time it was complete the wars were over.
We had dinner at an asian place - we had trouble finding the door because the snow was so deep!
