Île d'Orléans

There was an Island across the River from Quebec City.
We decided to drive around the Island.
We stopped and at at the Chocolaterie.
Quiche and salad.



Just had to stop!
We bought a box of chocolate.
There were a lot of different flavors in the box.
Lincoln and I shared each piece. 
half a piece for each of us.


Looking back to Quebec City across the St. Lawrence River.


Quebec.


The chocolates we bought.
(they actually weren't all that great, sorry to say)


This is the second waterfall we went to visit.
We took a tram up to the top of the waterfall,
walked across the bridge you see at the top,
and then walked down those stairs
on the far right side of of the picture.


The tram.


The view from the top of the waterfall
back across the river.
The bridge we took from the Island and back.




I was kind of scared of those stairs.
They looked rickety from afar
but were fine when we finally got to them.



A rainbow!




The bridge at the top of the waterfall.




Starting down the long flight of stairs.



Another bridge we crossed.


Another view of that same bridge. 









Lincoln walked to the base of the waterfall by himself.


The fanciest dinner we had was that evening.
We had no idea what we getting in to.
A five course meal.
The salad.


Yellow pea soup, and my georgeous husband.


Lincoln's meal.  He chose a traditional meal.
Meat pie, Meat balls, and some other things I don't remember.

I ordered fish.
I was super surprised to see the entire fish.
Eyeballs, tail and all!
The presentation was quite lovely :)





The leavings of the fish!


We had "sugar" pie for dessert.
I hadn't had anything like it before.
The fruit on the top was something I hadn't ever seen or 
eaten before . . . . 
I like trying new things!


I'm glad we had this experience.
The restaurant was in a very old home.
A nice treat.
