Our trip is nearing its end, so we didn't do much today. We only left the suite when we were forced to go for lunch. We ended up going to a different creperie, as Evan discovered that they made pizza crepes, though this creperie was not quite as good as yesterday's.
After lunch, we wandered down to the Notre Dame cathedral so that Sandra could visit a nearby Christmas store. We also took a bit of time to visit the cathedral.
Our next stop was a visit to the walls surrounding Old Quebec, which we walked along for a short ways. Unfortunately, the walls included old cannons and a very steep embankment along one side, which meant that the kids wanted to play, but the adults wanted them to live. After a short time we forced the kids to return to safer ground, which they weren't too happy about.
From the point on the wall where we started and ended our walk, we could see a small playground and everyone was very excited about it, so we took the kids over to it and let them play. After a bit, Alex and I walked further along the wall - all the way to the Citadel and back. By then, everyone was hot and tired and we were out of water, so we headed back for supper.
Tomorrow we take an early train to Montreal for one night, primarily so that we can get in to Toronto before 11:00pm on Saturday, as the trains from Quebec to Toronto get in late, but the trains from Montreal to Toronto get in around supper time. We do plan to spend the afternoon walking around Old Montreal and hopefully obtain a nice smoked meat sandwich.
