Vieux Quebec...

We arrived in Quebec City early this afternoon and checked into our hotel after some confusion regarding its location. We then went on a little jaunt to Old Quebec. It's quite interesting. The streets are quite narrow and the buildings are quite old. I was quite excited when I began recognizing places from when I was there seven years ago. We looked in some shops, had a bit of a snack and walked down an alley full of art. Tomorrow, we plan to look around a bit more and go on a tour of the Chateau Frontenac. We are now back at the hotel after walking around for what seemed like 100 years so that I could find my bank. It was a pretty good day. So today's favourite thing is old Quebec.

Happy Canada Day!!!

I had a pretty relaxing Canada Day, this year. Last year, I was in Boston for Canada Day and Ottawa for the fourth of July so I really didn't celebrate either. The year before, I was in Ottawa for Canada Day and my sister had a get together. Then I went back to Boston and saw the fireworks for the fourth of July, so I celebrated both that year.
I didn't go downtown for any of the festivities this year. I had planned to go down for noon but I was pretty tired so we didn't end up going. We ended up going to see a movie instead which I enjoyed. My sister and I then played a couple games of cribbage which I hadn't played in a long time. She won both times which wasn't quite as enjoyable. Both games were pretty close so it wasn't too bad. Other than that, I really didn't do much other than...oh yeah, work! I had the overnight shift last night. It wasn't as bad as I was expecting. It was pretty steadily busy but it was no worse than a typical weekend overnight. Somehow, it seemed like there were less drunk people than usual, which seems odd. But anyway, today's favourite thing is having a better night than expected.
