Quebec
Québec, 8–9 March 2016, after Montreal — one night near Château Frontenac, then by train to the US. Montmorency Falls, the city walls, and the centre-ville. The time of year made it difficult to walk around because of the snow and ice. We crossed the St. Lawrence on the Québec–Lévis ferry — the river was frozen, so the ferry had to sail breaking chunks of ice — and saw the statue of Ingólfur Arnarson in the ferry terminal.
