The next morning they got up early. "So, what's the plan for today?"
"We are going to go explore the surrounding countryside."
And they headed east, and took the bridge over to Isle d'Orleans, which is situated in the middle of the St. Lawrence River.
It's a picturesque drive through rolling farmland...
...passing centuries old barns...
It was a bright, sunny autumn day...
...as they made their way around the island...
At the westernmost tip of the island, they stopped to take in the view of the city in the distance.
...just as a large ship sailed by.
Later that afternoon, back on the mainland, they explored the south shore of the river in Levis, across the river from Quebec...
There were three huge cruise ships, including the Queen Mary 2, docked at the base of the Old City...
...almost dwarfing the impressive Chateau Frontenac rising high on the cliff overhead...
"No wonder it's so crowded over there."
