Une Soirée au Québec - An Evening in Quebec

Fall is a double edged sword. On one hand, the hills of Quebec are on fire with autumn colour that glows as the sun breaks through the clouds. I woke up to that colour outside my 13th floor hotel room Tuesday morning. On the other hand, it gets dark early. Fortunately, I'm staying at the edge of the tourist district, which means that sundown is not an end to the day!

Rainbows and Sunshine

When I got home from work yesterday, the sun was just breaking through the rain clouds. Nicol, my new boss, took me to dinner Tuesday night and then gave me a walking/driving tour of old town to help me get my bearings. I put on my walking boots and set out to explore the city confident in my ability to find the walled city center and my way back home.
