This was a difficult thing to arrange,because its quite far from Quebec. The taxi driver of a private taxi agreed to take us out there for $60, but said if we wanted him to wait, it would be 65cents a minute. However, he liked us, and when we got there he said he'd wait for about an hour. All we wanted to see was the church, so we figured that was a good deal. I think it was for him, as well, because he said that because today was a holiday there wasn't much work. And of course he got two $60 fares out of this. At the end, he took us on a little free tour of the lower part of the city. I think all of us thought this was a good deal. Did I mention it was POURING down rain?
I'm just going to post a bunch of pictures of the basilica. It is the most beautiful church we've seen on this trip, in my opinion. 
When we came back we went to lunch in a cute little place right across the street from our hotel that had wonderful sandwiches, delicious mushroom soup and to die for chocolate mousse. So much for not eating so much after our eating extravaganza yesterday.
Our friends George and Grace and Nancy and Joe.
And we also had time for a little shopping.
Dinner tonight was with the same group. We leave tomorrow for Montreal, and they all leave for home.
