from quebec city: do as the romans

Walk the city streets briskly, pick up foods at the epicerie, follow the side streets home.

Near the old town, take out your blades (or rent some), turn your face away from the direction of the wind and skate. Then, because it is the ubiquitous treat around here, take a bag of maple syrup cones home.

If it gets too cold, warm up at the local café, where they are serving hot mushroom soup. Or, just sip your espresso and catch up on the paper.

Going home, be careful. Snow removal is in full swing. Nearly every block has a guy on the roof pushing the stuff down. Step out of the way.

And for God’s sake, enjoy the food. Post on food will follow. Tomorrow. I am off now to enjoy the food.

  1. I can't wait to hear about the food!! About 15 years ago, we went to Quebec City...a very unplanned trip. Just decided to head to Canada than kept driving until we found good food. That's my memory of Quebec City...incredible food and great gardens (we were there in the summer). Have fun.

  2. You know that Ann called this trip of yours inexplicable, right?

    Me, though, I understand it completely. I envy you your fearlessness, Nina. Can't wait for the food pictures.

    (Odd synchronicity: tomorrow, I'll be making mushroom soup.)
