Stroll Thru Quebec City

  Last October my hubby and I were in  Quebec City for a few days.    It is a  stunning city  and the  Fall color  was  breathtaking ! 



Quebec City  is one of the oldest cities in North America and the spectacular old part of the city still has it's fortified walls.


Although  I'm fascinated with taking pictures of architectural details such as doors,  windows, steeples and such (and have  a lot of them),  I  was really taken by the spirit of the street scenes,
the shops and the Fall decor.















Not sure what was going on in here but the translation is
“skin to skin”.



But,  I do know what was going on in here:  Fabulous French  Food  which was  oh si delicieux et  fortement recommande! 



It's a beautiful place to visit, especially in the Fall, and  I have been trying to talk Mr. 2805  into making the trip again to catch the color and the feel of The Old  City with my new camera.  The pictures would be so-o-o-o much better. 
No luck so far.
  
PS: 
This is an adaption of one of the first posts I did when I started blogging, but since I am a bit "under the weather" and it seems so appropriate for Fall  (plus not many people saw it) I decided to post about it again.

Please join me for Potpourri Friday

Until next timeHoney
