Reader’s, I slept till 9:30am! Wow! I must be on vaycay! Today we decided to get a full breakfast and was able to find a cafe right behind the condo to eat at. I got coffee (no sugar), two friend eggs with homemade bread and jam and potatoes on the side. My Man got a ham and cheese omelet. There were a lot of locals with their dogs out and about and it made me miss my puppy Timber! He would have loved it in Quebec. While my man went on his morning run, I got cleaned up and started a new book called Follys Island. It was a light fun read.
Last year we saw the Ecolobus driving throughout the streets of old town. It is a bus run on 100% electricity. Well this year they added to their fleet and that bus was everywhere. We decided to hop on and check out where all it took us.
Now every bus we saw was empty until we wanted to hop on and ride. Locals use the Ecolobus a lot! It was a short route that took all of twenty minutes. I liked the people watching but My Man was not impressed. To hot and to many people on it. Well, it is a bus.
We hoped off the bus a stop early and decided to check out Cafe du Monde that my man found on one of his runs. It has views of the river and he thought it would be a nice place to have lunch.
I had some oysters for a starter and a wonderful goat cheese and strawberry salad. Those strawberries tasted so good! The weather was so nice and the river was full of people on sail boats.
After we ate I was on the search of Canadian under ware for The Boy. Yes, under ware. We bought him a pair last year and I wanted to find some more. My Man wanted to go walking and take more pictures for his guest blog entry. Yes, My Man will be a guest blogger on My Hotel Yorba! How cool is that?
I found some under ware and then went back to one of my favorite stores and bought two more shirts and some pants. After that I was beat. I waked back to the condo and took a much-needed nap!
We went to one of the cafes for a nice dinner and then back to Cafe du Monde for an after dinner drink.
Our trip was coming to an end. Overall it was a wonderful time. The people of Quebec City are so nice and welcoming. We were able to teach them a few new words of English like straw and pier. However, My Man and I’s french did not improve! Pickles. There was no green juice to be found which was a bummer. The closest thing I got to veggie juice was drinking Bloody Marys. Does that count? We are already thinking about our next trip and where we would like to stay. We will go bike riding again for sure and of course more shopping! My Man and I are always looking for our spiritual home and Quebec City is the closest to one we have found so far!
I look forward to your guest blogger…how fun! And ummmm Vancouver is a wonderful city…ya know…just sayin;)
I would love to go there someday!
Looks like another great day..I look forward to the guest blogger’s take on the trip
