So, yeah, I’m writing about a walk again. Can you tell I like walking? This time, my friends and I strolled through Old Quebec at night.

The prettiest cities often hit their peak at night, and Quebec is no exception.  We were amazed.  By that point, the swarms of tourists had emptied out of the twisty streets, and it was like we had the city to ourselves.

First, the parliament building was completely lit up, and the fountain in front had green lights shining on it. Check it out:

My favorite, though, is the terrace.  We stood under the towering Chateau Frontenac and looked down at the city and river below.  I’ve done this a few times since I’ve been here, and it never fails to amaze me. I’ve tried to take pictures of the view, but they never turn out well– just a bunch of yellow lights in the darkness. 

Just some advice for anyone studying abroad soon: take walks! It’s  the best way to see the city.  I always have the feeling that I’m discovering things myself.
