La Citadelle de Québec
Massive place we reached on a very warm September day as we came all the way from the Dufferin terrace, which was at the back of the Citadel (good to know if you want to go straight to the entrance of this place).
The Citadel is packed with history and it reminds me of so many fortified European cities all the way from the Atlantic ocean to the eastern part of the Med.
Lots of info around and inside the place, entrance of around 15 CAD (if I remember correctly), souvenir shop, toilets etc

Centre Infotouriste de Québec
'My gosh, what a place' I think, every single time I remember this place. Why?
- the worst smelling toilets I came across, everybody was wearing a mask or covering their noses and not because of the past pandemic
- a very rude girl (brunette, shoulder hair, a bit stocky, 5'7 tall and mid '20s) who did not even listen to me when I asked her a simple question and asked me to join a queue to learn the answer to my question. What was her role there? Because door usher she was not. She made me think of some retarded and full of importance commies with her negative attitude. Not good. If you do not like your summer job, do not take such a job, missy. You bring nothing positive towards this institution.

Yorkdale Shopping Centre
After having a meal at the Cheesecake factory we decided to access this place for a bit of retail therapy:
- this place is massive, so I suggest to take a map and learn where you want to go
- a good mix of international designers where staff wants to know your name even before purchasing something and cheaper shops where everything is very accessible
- I was pleased to discover that Lush has a presence in Canada, just like in the UK as I could not find it in the USA during my travels - I love their bubble bars they keep surprising me with
- clean cut place with lots of nicely done toilets too, lots of chocolate shops and anything you fancy
- we came here during the week and apart from the above mentioned restaurant, the main mall was not busy - I suspect at the weekend could be madness
Most surely we will be back

Ruby Tuesday
We returned to this place because of it's great location, where from you can see the water fall in the distance - if it wasn't to be the noise coming from the street works would have been even better.
The serving girls were young and very friendly, a huge contrast to the 'upset girls' we encountered previously. Our food was good and we noticed it was a bit more expensive than other Ruby Tuesdays spread around N America. The place was not busy either although the streets were packed with youngsters on their own or in school trips - that is why we avoid coming here in the summer.

National Portrait Gallery
This is another museum in Washington I keep returning to after the National gallery of art and being free is an added bonus:
1. Plan in advance, check their website or maps here of what you want to see
2. The map is not as detailed of National Gallery of art museum for example but there are some great sections: the American artists of the early 20th century have some great paintings here with amazing details for example
3. The presidents section is also great and Clinton has a very interesting painting
4. Relax in their green area surrounded by plants and hopefully not having kids splashing water while parents only watched and filmed!!!!!
Most surely we will return here.
