miko's log: vacation, day 6

day 6: quebec city
our last full day in quebec. although i do enjoy shopping here and there was none of that today, it was probably the funnest day of our vacation.

we visited place royale again, where we went to the museum of civilization. we first reunited ourselves with canadian history, then went to learn about dragons. after that, we decided to do something about our craving for fresh fruit. i really really wanted an apple; i usually have an average of one and a half a day and i was missing the crunchy, sweet goodness. we stumbled upon a food market (how convenient!) that sold fresh strawberries that looked and tasted just like the ones from my parents' garden growing up. no apples, though. from this marketplace, we also bought some cheese where the girl wanted to charge us 59 cents, then realized it was $5.90. we got some deli meat where the lady kept telling us each product was their very very best. we stopped at a park to eat some strawberries and ended up with very pink fingers!

on our way back to the hotel, we discovered some parts of the old city that we haven't seen yet, which is always exciting. then we bought a baguette and a bottle of wine...at this point, the clouds were looking very omnious and gave way to rain showers as we were walking up the hill to our hotel (did i mention that you can't beat the location?) which just seemed like a perfect end to our day of walking. and we had a picnic in our room. and then we took a nap. i love being on vacation!
