we got to the hotel and parked the bikes where we could see them
and started making plans to take the bus to downtown quebec city (within the walls of the old city).
we're from a very small, rural town, and public transportation is not something we're familiar with. a little bit of googling and reading bus stop signs and we think we've got it figured out. get on the bus, put our cash in the slot, and sit down. took about 6 blocks before we realized we're headed in the wrong direction.
at the top of the route the driver stopped in a park, with us the only two on the bus, and walked back to us. "i knew it from the beginning" he replied when we explained where we thought we were headed. 20 mins later he had us dropped off downtown, and we went hunting for some grub
^and we found it here! $100 later, we'd enjoyed some beers, french onion soup, and very good pasta meals. the walk back gave us a few treats like this
and casey mingled with some local folk
we stopped at a convenience store during the walk back and picked up a few fin du monde's. fin du monde was the first beer i ever drank, in a bar in quebec, on a field trip, when i was 16. turned me off to beer for a bit! but i've come back around and enjoy it on a different level now. with the help of that potent beer sleep came easy that night.
