Quebec city, Quebec Canada to Lac-Jacques-Cartier, Québec Canada



So our journey continued North from Quebec city into the wilderness of  Jacques-Cartiers National Park on our way to Lac-Jacques-Cartier. for a nice few days camping but for now we stopped just off the main part to have lunch and check out the views.. we than became inspired and rented a raft for a nice little stretch of the river before we would finish our journey to Lac-Jacques-Cartier. heres the beauty we engulfed ourselves in. 
Something to take with us is the fresh air and the scents of wilderness everywhere.




















We had the luxury of going to a local market before leaving the city to grab some authentic french foods for our lunch and snacking. heres a delicious taste
yuM!






















So now that we have made it to our destination and set up camp i think its time for a nice big fire and  some  smores like old times... this is so much fun I could get lost in the world of wonder here....
Stay tuned until next time our journey continues to Lac Saint Jean. Quebec.
EXCITED!
AU REVOIR!

Bonjour!
My name is Ryan Jago, I am here to tell you about the journey me and my partner Juanita are taking around Quebec, Canada beginning in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada.
heres a nice map of Quebec.
First off our trip began with arriving at Jean Lesage International Airport (JLIA). Onced landed we both felt starved and not at all satisfied with the meal on the plane so we grabbed a rental car and set off to find nice place to grab a bite.
We drove around for a while headed downtown to end up at a delightful restaurant called Carbon Steak House right off of Bassin Louise water front.

We were both so hungry we split a 20 oz RIB STEAK DRY AGED (STEAK DE CÔTES VIELLI À SEC) it was amazing!

Next full and satisfied we set off to find the Hot Air Balloon tours, luckily we were right next to where they set off for the tours.

After our long and adventurous journey in the skies, we defended and went to grab a nice dinner at our hotel the notorious Loews Hotel...
now this Hotel is incredible beyond words it had a revolving top patio and a amazing buffet and the rooms were heaven over looking the beautiful city of Quebec... heres a small taste of what we endured for our evening...
 the food yUMMMMM the preparation and taste melted in our mouths... and the view well you can decide :)
Our room had a room we only saw in movies...

over all the first day and first journey was something of what we might call  the accession to the heavens.
