Last weekend, I was in Québec city for Festival d’été. This year, I did more exploring of the city and surrounding areas.
On Saturday, I visited J.A Moisan, North America’s oldest grocery store.
It looked like it hasn’t changed too much over the years and stocked a lot of specialty products. I ended up getting some sodas to try.
I also had the privilege of going on the Island of Orleans food and drink tour. It was a 3 hour tour where we were taken to the beautiful island of Orleans that was a different world only 15 minutes away from the city. The vegetation there was lush and we sampled wines, ciders, sweets and jarred things. It was a lovely escape from the hustle and bustle of a city.
The nickel has overlooked Sudbury since 1964. Sudbury was originally established as a mining town where nickel played a big role.
It was modelled after the 1951 Canadian nickel with King George.
This doesn’t seem to work:
We weren’t very good at putting this back together:
We also visited the Halifax Citadel, which works with this year’s free Parks Canada pass. There was only 30 minutes before closing so we went through all the rooms and museums quickly:
Then I took a walk by the waterfront:
and saw Theodore the tugboat!
