okay, but why Quebec City in the summer?
It's a peak season destination.  We seem to do this a lot.  
March would be no better, but early November there would be, I think, low peak.
What's a non-peak destination for July?  Maybe I'm wrong about Quebec.

I'm staying at Laval University resident for $61/night.  Hotwire did
find a few places equal in distance for ~$108, but the trip was harder
in my opinion.  I might bring my folding bike, or not (I'm coming by
train).  There are apparently dozens of buses that travel the 6km
stretch of Rene Levesque, but I'm doubtful that many will run after 8pm,
so I'm counting on a few taxi rides.

I think we will be relatively happy in Quebec.
