WE WERE BLOWN AWAY BY THE BEAUTY OF OTTAWA,OLD MONTREAL BUT THE ICING ON THE CAKE IS OLD QUEBEC.THIS IS GOVERNMENT HOUSE OTTAWA.
ST LAWRENCE FROM GOVERNMENT HOUSE.
OLYMPIC STADIUM MONTREAL.THE TOWER WAS ADDED LATER WITH A FUNICULAR TO THE TOP. CABLES FROM THE TOWER HOLD UP THE KEVLAR ROOF TO MAKE IT USABLE IN ALL WEATHERS.(IT COLLAPSED UNDER WEIGHT OF SNOW A FEW YEARS AGO) .ALTHOUGH A GREAT FACILITY IT RUNS AT A HUGE LOSS AND IT'S FUTURE IS DEBATABLE.
THIS IS THE CHATEAU FRONTENAC THAT DOMINATES THE AREA BELOW THE FORT OLD QUEBEC.
OLD QUEBEC.THE CITY IS WALLED AND YOU CAN WALK THE WALLS.
OLD QUEBEC FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ST LAWRENCE.A BEAUTIFUL CITY WHICH THE FRENCH THOUGHT IMPREGNABLE. THE ENGLISH SNEEKED UP THE CLIFFS JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE PICTURE ON TO A FARM OWNED BY MR ABRAHAM.THE BATTLE THAT ENSUED ON THE PLAINS OF ABRAHAM LED TO THE DEFEAT OF FRANCE AND BRITAIN TAKING CHARGE.
