Day 9 - 400 years of stuff to see

We decided that since we only have a day in Quebec City, we should find a tour guide to show us the highlights. We hired a horse-drawn carriage to take us on a one-hour trip around the old city, which was well worth the time and cost. Every building has a story.

Although I was impressed with the architecture and history of the buildings, it was the Plains of Abraham that really got to me. This beautiful park was the site of the 1759 battle that determined the fate of North America. It's no doubt the most important piece of real estate in the country, and one that every Canadian should see.


Well, you can't go sightseeing on an empty stomach!

Plains of Abraham is a good place to throw a frisbee too.
