I had a recovery period after a series of red eye flights to get to Quebec City before my work started. I took a few minutes to walk around the old town.
Looking out to the Saint Lawrence Seaway.
In the old fortified city.
Lots of tourists.
Outside a courtyard.
An art installation. It’s a crashed space probe.
A pretty stone church.
Quebec City has some outstanding poutine.
A pretty fountain.
Parliament.
The old walled city.
The famous hotel overlooking the Saint Lawrence Seaway.
On my way to Paris for work, I hopped a ride on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner out of Vancouver, BC. This was the fourth time this year that I have been on a Dreamliner.
Last fall I rode along the road at the edge of the water on my way down to Vancouver from further north in BC on my Honda Pacific Coast motorcycle.
Looking back toward BC.
Beautiful valleys between the mountains in British Columbia.
This is the best view I’ve ever had out of an airplane bathroom.
British Columbia is gorgeous this time of year.
Some wonderful Honda Pacific Coast friends who I made way back in 2010 when I caught up with the last part of the POPCORN Ride. I think we bumped into each other again at the RAMROD Ride. One way or the other, we’ve known each other for a number of years due to our shared love of the PC800 and when I posted on the NW Upcoast forum that I was heading to BC for a few days, they graciously offered to let me stay with them in Coquitlam just to the east of Vancouver.
After spending a great night in a real bed, I headed out again on my trusty PC800 and pointed its nose to the south, and back to the United States of America.
