I spent a week in Quebec City a few weeks ago (with my girlfriend).
It was a great place to vacation and the weather was beautiful, mostly.
We were one street off the water, right below the Plains of Abraham.
(right near those 300 steps. Yes, we climbed the steps)
On one particular rainy day we went to the Museum of Civilization to see this exhibit.
It was excellent and I recommend checking it out.
(I wanted to rush home and start building my own armor)
I bought this bookmark (thin balsa wood)

and this little Diener-like Samurai figure made by IWAKO http://www.iwako.com/

I could go on and on about this exhibit, it was really amazing!

Very cool, thanks for sharing this. I hadn't even heard about it. Might be worth taking a short road trip up there if I can convince someone with wheels.

I rented a car and drove the 8 hours from New Haven.

We also checked out Les Chutes Montmorency, an amazing waterfall.

Quebec City was very friendly.
