September 30th - Back in Quebec City

We were back in Quebec City today. Just a couple days ago, the temps were in
the 70s, not so today, it was cloudy and the winds were gale force, it was
cold - all I can say is at least it did not rain until I was back on the
ship.

Visited the "lower and upper cities", the citadel and the "Chateau
Frontenac", the world's most photographed hotel, really enchanting.

Got back to the ship before the rains and watched the "Best Exotic Marigold
Hotel" for the 4th time - I am sure it will not be the last time - what a
great movie.

It was chilly and foggy upon arrival in Montreal this morning. Luckily, the
fog lifted by the time we left the ship to tour the city.

The most exciting thing today was going down the one-way ramp from the pier
into the city - it was only a few inches wider than the bus - we were not
overly confident our driver could negotiate the approach with its sharp turn
and narrow lane (he had already taken out a parking lot sign) - everyone
clapped when we made it down!

Enjoyed the tour of the city and were thankful that the forecasted rain
never came.

The sail away was beautiful as we turned around to head through the St.
Lawrence back out to the open sea.

We will be following the same course back to Boston; hopefully we will be as
lucky with our weather on the return trip.

We had a wonderful group of tablemates last week and decided to keep our
same table and continue to dine together for the return trip.
