On Day 5 of my trip, I woke up and had plans to head to the Citadel for the Changing of the Guard. I thought I was headed there, but I ended up hiking up to the back of Citadel instead of the entrance. At least I got some great photos while I was up there!
I eventually made it to the entrance, and got there in time to see the Changing of the Guards. Here are a thousand pics...
The regiment's mascot is this goat. He is awesome.
I was fascinated by the drummer wearing the leopard skin.

You could get in line to have your pic made with the Goat. I skipped that, but did get a closeup.
The ramparts around the old town...
Churchill and Roosevelt monument
I walked from the upper town down to the market that I had visited the day before. I needed more strawberries, and wanted to have lunch from one of the vendors at the market. After lunch, I walked back through the lower town again.
The streets of lower town were less crowded on a Monday afternoon.
I took the funicular back to upper town
After I caught a ride back to the upper town, I made a stop at my crepe stand for a salted caramel crepe. It ended up being the best one I tried!
This is an anglican church. The crepe stand was located right in it's churchyard, so I enjoyed a rest there each and every day as I ate my crepe. The day before I thought it was about to burn down. There were 4 firetrucks in the yard, a command center set up out front, firefighters going up on the ladders... As you can see, it was still there the next day. I went for a quick tour after I finished my snack.
On Day 6, I had to check out by 1:00, so I just took a last jaunt up to the Chateau area.
I visited the crepe stand for breakfast.

QC City Hall
I flew from QC to Newark, so here was a view from Brick City into New York City that I snapped before catching my plane home.
