Québec City - first eve



Our room was cozy and well appointed. I loved it immediately.

One of the zillion bannisters to somewhere. With 618 rooms and 18 floors there are steps and stairs a'plenty. We were on the seventh floor.


Ancient reflecting devices on our seventh floor hallway.

Being that we were both sleepy and one of us was Albertan we felt that ordering room service desserts while watching the Oilers game was our best course of action as opposed to mixing and mingling with the Québecy throngs.

Mark ordered crème brûlée. I love the maple leaf shaped wafer - Canadian touch.

I almost always order crème brûlée if it's an option but oh I thought I'd shake it up a little with a hazelnut cake dark chocolate torte thingy. I couldn't manage a good photo but those are figs in the distance. I confess the only fig I'd ever had up until last week was a Newton. Now I can tell you with confidence that figs are homey and sweet and pretty and every bite tasty.

And then to bed. The most comfortable bed ever. The best pillowy happiness ever. I was out like a light. Mind you I was so tired it could have been a rock and I'd have been good. Getting up at 3:30 am will do that to a girl.
