I woke up around 7:30am and read a bit in bed while My Man snored. I ended up waking The Boy up when I faced timed him. Guess where he slept last night. My bed! I recognized the ceiling and fan! That little bugger. We got up and going around and hour later and walked to a cafe for coffee and a chocolate croissant. We sat facing open floor to ceiling widows that looked onto the farmers market and a beautiful day.

After we ate and got a cup of coffee to go, we walked over to the farmers market it check it out. They had a bit of everything. Some wonderful looking cheese, bread and veggies.

My Man and I talked about going back and getting a little bit of cheese, bread and tomatoes for a nice snack latter. And then we came across the beer. My Man just stood there looking at all of it. “I have never seen any of these beers in my life”. There was drool.

We then went back to the condo and My Man went out for a run. Did I mention that we are on the fourth floor and there is no elevator? Oh my legs and ass! I am getting a good workout just by climbing them! I got cleaned up and sat down on my iPad to write rough drafts of these posts. Please forgive any tense issues I may have since I am writing it while we are here but won’t post till we get back. Got to add the pictures in at home.

Shopping

More shopping today. I was able to get two more cardigans, my favorite, two light sweaters that will be great for Our Florida trip in July and a cami. My man got some pants for dinner tonight and a new swimsuit. We also picked up a t-shirt for The Boy. I think I am all set (clothes wise) unless I see something I must have. I am still wanting to go to this one shop where they sell French dinnerware with cats on it. We got some lat year and I am planning on buying more this trip. It is so nice.

Lunch

We had lunch at . Everything was local and the meats/fish/poultry was organically raised. My kind of place! My Man and I shared a cheese plate and then I had a salad with beat marinated trout and organize egg yolks. It was all so good.

Beer tasting for My Man and Wine for Me!

After lunch we did a little more walking around and then stopped at a cafe, had a glass of wine and people watched. A wonderful time!

After awhile we went back to the condo and got caught up on social media. Our wifi access sucked. There was only one place in the whole condo you could get it and it was very hit and miss. We did some laundry and read a bit. It was much warmer out and the rain pretty much stayed away. We were able to find an adult contemporary French music station on the TV. It was very peaceful to listen to the music with the windows open and read. Just the kind of rest I needed.

Dinner

We ate dinner at Patriarche. We had eaten than last year and really enjoyed our time so we thought we would try it again. Like last year, it did not disappoint.

PS. Today, the 12th, I am going to get my CT scans. If you are into praying please send them you way. If you are into good vibes and or finger and toes crossing please do those too! We are looking for NO Change. NO Change! No Change!

Reader’s!

Friday started early for me and My Man. A littler earlier for me since I woke up at 2am to My Man snoring and wasn’t able to fall back asleep! The alarm went off at 3:15am while I was reading the news and I got up ready for our journey to Quebec City to begin.

Our trip to Quebec went pretty well. Our flight left at 5:55am ( 5 minutes early! Go Air Canada!). We made it to our condo around 12pm and were able to check in right away.

The Condo

The condo is very nice and very small. They said it was a two bedroom and they are lying. There isn’t really a “bedroom” at all. Instead there is a loft with a queen sized bed and a little office area with a Murphy bed. We had asked three different couples if they had wanted to join us and although I would have loved for one of them to say yes, I am glad they didn’t! The place would be great for a single person to live in. It however worked out perfect for My Man and I.

Lunch

After we got settled we headed out to grab some lunch. The area we were in was perfect. We looked at five different places and settle on Cafe Resto Saint Malo. I had salmon tartar and a warm goat cheese salad and some wine. My Man had the rabbit. We were able to sit outside and watch the people and the rain, sun, rain and sun. It did that the whole day. I am sure if I were looking there were tons of rainbows throughout out the day.

Shopping

Last year I ended up buying My Man a beautiful leather jacket. So after lunch we headed to our favorite leather store and he bought me one for my birthday! I love it! It is gorgeous!
I was also able to exchange my wallet, which had issues with the stitching, for a new and different style. I must admit, I like the new on better than the first! Sweet! My Man also bought three new shirts and a light sweater. He barely packed anything with the sole intent of buying new clothes on this trip. He really needs some new stuff. I saw some stuff that I liked and planned on going back to try it all on later. To rainy for me to try clothes on! My hair was already a hot mess.

You can’t tell but it is pouring down rain.

Dinner

For dinner and drinks we went back to a favorite from last year called Sapresti. We scored our favorite table (the best one in the place) had a wonderful dinner, which included flatbread and yummy drinks. We talked about our plans for the next few days and did a little people watching. I even saw a boob! The people behind us had a baby and well, it was dinner time!

After dinner we went back to the condo to grab my new awesome jacket. It had gotten a little chilly and was perfect leather weather. We went to Le Pub which was down from our condo and had a glass of wine. By this time, I was tired and ready for bed. My Man made fun of me of wanting to go to bed at 9:30pm. Guess who fell asleep first. Ha!

Overall it was a great first day. Even the crazy weather was fine. We got to wear the jackets we bought here last year and I got to wear my new leather one! Nice!
