Strolling
by btex
Walking in Old Quebec, you'll find strategically placed canons. They're out of use though. Probably had something to do with the military history of Quebec City. Old Quebec is ideal for taking a stroll. It's not too big and not too small. I wandered around the narrow avenues and quaint buildings, not to mention the wall that surrounds the old town - it was especially good at night when everything was lit up.

Ice Hockey Passion
by jamiesno
People throughout Canada love their game of Hockey and in Quebec they are probably a little more passionate.
The Montreal Canadians or Habs are loved in Montreal and in Quebec they miss the old Quebec Nordiques I am sure. They were the NHL team that moved to Colorado know known as the Avalanche.
Here in this picture I found some people playing hockey right in the middle of the city.
They call a pick up hockey game like this one a game of "shiney". It's just a group of people out on the ice playing for fun, no goalies or anything.
French Food and Drink # 3 - The Breakfast Crepes!
by jamiesno
Here in this picture is a very tasty mushroom, ham and cheese breakfast crepe from Casse Crepe Breton on Rue Saint Jean.
You will see plenty of Creperie's around Old Quebec.
It is definitely a traditional meal.
Enjoy your crepes :-)

Undiscovered art
by Tom_In_Madison
the highways with their overpasses and underpasses usually are pretty ugly under all that concrete. Not here. They've got their supports holding up the highways painted all sorts of different things here.
Walking from the bus station to the right, you'll see the network of highways taking you here and there. As you get closer, you'll notice all the concrete supports are painted. Some old time roman themes, some in many other themes. It makes an area that is usually not so pretty, rather interesting. They've all been done up very nice. So next time you walk by here, stop and check it out. Nice job Quebec.
