Quebec Vacation

Sorry for my lack of posts...been having some trouble posting from my kindle.  Wish I had a laptop but oh well. Stuck on a touch screen for now.  At least the autocorrect is awesome.:)

So last week mom and I went to Quebec City in Canada for three nights.  It was really nice to get away for a bit.  It was like a vacation from my lack of work :-/  It is really stressful to be unemployed and have my parents kinda freaking out about it.  Believe me, I want a job...ugh.

So, first time ever in Quebec even though I lived in Canada for two school years while I was in college.  I was amazed at how super different the culture was there from Maine and from the maritime part of Canada.  I love traveling and seeing how just one province over is completely different from another.  Same as seeing the culture of the southern USA and then going out west.  You don't have to leave the country to see some really different people and places.

As far as what we did in Quebec it was mostly pretty low-key.  We went to the Museum of Civilization and saw the exhibition on the first nations people of Canada. Very cool. I love learning about native people and how they used to live...always kinda wished I lived back then.

And other than that we ate, poked around cute stores, mom got hit on by some cute old French man, and I finished my book (Game of Thrones: Storm of Swords.).

Good times.  Pictures on instagram.  :)
