Visiting Sherbrooke Quebec

One of the fun things we did this summer was travel to the Eastern Townships of Quebec, to Sherbrooke, Terry's home town. The streets here can be hilly - I'd hate to have to drive (or walk!) here on an icy winter day.














We stayed in a downtown bed and breakfast, in a suite called the Cour de Versailles.














Four- course breakfasts were served in their sunny breakfast room:














We started with yogurt (juice and coffee)...














Then the fruit cup - almost too beautiful to eat...














Omlette with sun dried tomatoes (and toast or croissant) ...














There was even dessert (cream puffs, fruit and chocolate covered raisins)!

Feeling thoroughly pampered, we set off to rediscover Sherbrooke.














Here is the beautiful old Hydro Quebec office building where Terry's Aunt Glenna once worked (viewed from a sidewalk cafe across the street).














The B and B was also within walking distance of the old train station, now a central market square, where we caught the Mt. Orford Express, a gourmet train ride...

(More about that tomorrow!)
