Just a few last pictures. Another statue -- they're all over the place. I'm sorry to say that I've forgotten who this is. A closer shot:

The wine and cheese reception on the second evening of the conference (which I should have taken a picture of -- the spread was astounding, and I was unable to eat most of the cheese, or drink the wine, dammit!) was in l'Observatoire, a glassed-in room in a tower. There were spectacular views, which are the last pictures I took in the city. The St. Lawrence River & the Plains of Abraham, where the battle between Wolfe & Montcalm for control of Quebec took place in 1759, resulting in the British takeover of New France (the beginnings of Canada) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Quebec_%281759%29):



The harbour:


The old citadel, nearest the river (which I wish I'd found the time to visit):



And that's all, folks! Thanks for wandering with me.
