Leaving Tuesday...

My husband Ken and I are leaving Tuesday for Québec City in Canada! We booked a direct flight to Montreal and purchased train tickets to take us the 3 hours north to this 'walled city'.












With our last minute plans, it was a little stressful finding the perfect place for our 8 day stay, but Jean François of Auberge Aux Deux Lions made it easy. He arranged for us to stay 2 nights in one semi-private room, then the last 6 nights in the 'fancy' room with un jardin privé! It's very close to Vieux-Québec and also to a Bike Rental location where he has assured me we can get a good deal since we will be renting bikes for 8 days! I'll post more in a couple of days!!
