Yvonne dressed up like a soldier at Fort Levis National Historic Site.

We travelled from Montreal to Quebec City today. Our RV park is just 20 minutes from QC. We scoped out the ferry at Levis so we can take our bikes into Old Quebec tomorrow. It's just a 10 min. ferry and there's lots of parking on this side of the river. Close to the ferry is Fort Levis. Yvonne was pretty thrilled because kids are allowed to dress up like soldiers while they tour. It is the last remaining British fort that defended Quebec City when an American invasion was feared. They never did invade, but this fort was site to various experiments in building technology for the time. It was built in the 1860's. They did the first experiments with using concrete and asphalt that is now pretty commonly used. The view on a nice day must be lovely, but today has low clouds and haze with very high humidity, so we could barely see the city. Tomorrow's weather is supposed to be nicer.
