Quebec City, Con't.....

Several murals on walls here, depicting events or conditions existing in the past that helped us understand Quebec's history. Very tromp d'oile, as well!

Inside this house was a soap/lotion shoppe in which the soaps were arranged to look like confectionary! I wanted to include a photo, but photography is forbidden in most shoppes that were so creative in design - understandable.
Not sure what these Christmas-in-August elves were up to but they were so enthusiastic, that I couldn't resist a shot. Neither could they resist mugging and posing. Lots of young folk in this city...lots of roller blading, cycling, walking, lots of hills, so young and old are in pretty good shape.


Riding the funicular reveals views of private gardens invisible from street level.




At least as steep as Lookout Mountain Incline in TN!
