A night with the ghosts

After such a great day, what could be better than hearing a little history and walking the streets and alleys down through the old town. First comment-does this city ever have a lot of canons! 

Our guide, dressed in period clothing and painted up to look very corpse-like, entertained us with crime and punishment from the days when the stocks, hanging in the public square, breaking a confession on the wheel and drawing and quartering were the way crimes were handled.

The 90 minute walk ended in Place Royale, which looked quite different than it did earlier in the afternoon.

The moon was still big, bright and full and looked amazing over the St. Lawrence

This time up, the Funiculaire called my name and the ride up, avoiding the stairs was more than appreciated - and one MUST ride the Funiculaire at least one time! My story-sticking to it...

Tomorrow, after breakfast, the Citadel and the Plains of Abraham.
