QCT reader Christiane Ruggiero sent this photo on June 25 with the following message: “For the first time in years I had two friends from the United States come for a visit. It was their first time in Quebec City and it was wonderful to be able to share the culture and beauty of Quebec with them after a few years of COVID restrictions. I gave them a copy of the QCT and they loved it! I took this picture of them (Elaine and Andy) yesterday in Petit-Champlain and when I looked at it, it filled my heart with joy, as it represented the return of our American friends to this part of the world!” Over the next few months, if you have a photo that you feel embodies summer in Quebec City, please feel free to send it to us at editor@ qctonline.com and we’d be happy to consider it for publication.
