Final Day in North Hatley

...We hope you all had as wonderful a time as we did enjoying your loved ones.

A few days away

Kira and I snuck away for 3 days to Quebec City to celebrate our 7th anniversary.  Here are the photos.

 Cool church.  Or as Wikipedia puts it...

The Cathedral-minor basilica of Notre-Dame de Québec (Our Lady of Quebec City), located at 20, rue de Buade, Quebec City, Quebec, is the primate church of Canada and seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Quebec, the oldest see in the New World north of Mexico.

It is also the parish church of the oldest parish in North America, and the first church in North America to be elevated to the rank of minor basilica by Pope Pius IX in 1874. It is a National Historic Site of Canada,^[1] and located within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Historic District of Old Québec.^[2]

 Whatever... cool church.

Martello tower on the plains of Abraham... cool!
