Quebec Rest Day

I had one mission for the day: crepes. The last time I was in Quebec city, I was about 10 years old and I think it was the first time I had crepes. The atmosphere of the old town and the deliciousness of the crepes made a lasting impression.

It was drizzling today, but Isabel and I braved the weather and bussed from our hotel across from Universite Laval to the old town.


I have to think that this place is unique in North America for its old world character. The wet streets only heightened the allure.

It's a true testament to the power of this town that I was happy to wander around on an empty stomach, rather than rush to the nearest food joint. We passed no fewer than three Subways but I stayed strong. We found a place with a line out the door and figured it was probably worth waiting for. We were right. I had ham, cheese and mushrooms in crepe numero un, fresh blueberries in crepe numero deux, with a milkshake on the side. Mission accomplished.

After that we wandered around some more and stumbled on a bike shop, which was good because I needed water bottle cage to replace the one I bought in Montreal that broke on the first day of use. Here's a super macro look at the broken part:


If I have the energy, I'll report this to the manufacturer (Tacx). Annoying, but at least I got to try out the new camera's macro mode.
