The hardest part?
…is saying goodbye after the final dinner to head back to pack. So many new friends! But I know I’ll see them again. Can’t wait to get home!

Pictures of food
Look I’m really sorry for posting dorky food-photos… but I walked a mile to this vegan restaurant. OMG this is one of yummiest things I’ve ever eaten. It looked awesome and tasted better. It’s a riff off of Pad Thai. It was so good, I’m going to sit here for AN HOUR until their lasagna comes out of the oven!!

Days off
Resting the ‘ol bones, and exercising the grey matter, with a superlative book by Vincent Thibault in my new, favorite-spot.
Update: I’ve started an entire series of posts as part of my studying this book. Study inspired by Pakour & Art du Déplacement by V. Thibault.

Somewhere in Québec
Short bus ride (you can interpret that as you wish) to some sort of community center… a kids’ playground, and then I noticed this area. “Advancé” class tonight with Academie ADD du Québecois! Is it really only Wednesday? pre- pre- warmup before this weekend’s event.

Quintessential Tourist
Breakfast (literally breaking my morning fast at Noon) at the 1640 Cafe. Everyone else wanted to be out in the sun… I had an inside window seat, the whole place to myself. Poached eggs, pile of veggies and some sort of ham (more like a brisket) and real hollendaise.

Québec
Last time I was here, it was, a bit chillier… todays is 70s, breezy, and crazy gorgeous.

Grande Allée
Strolling down Grande Allée… but honestly, counting the minutes until class at the Academy at 5:30.

No snow
This was all buried in snow last time I stood here. Now it’s a great night, with people walking their dogs etc.

To Québec
Allonze’y! (Is that correct? My French is pitiful.) Heading east into the night with a sped-up sunset. Our plane has not thrown a propeller; Interesting argument between the digital camera and the high-speed prop.

Casey’s
Late luch on Front street. Steam Whistle pilsner is delicious, eh!
