May 24, 2013: Quebec day 1
I slept in just a little bit this morning, but still made it to breakfast, then went to see Jenn. She was getting off work in a bit, so we decided to get off the ship together. We shopped for a while, got her some breakfast and explored some of the town she hadn’t discovered yet. It was pretty wet and rainy so we spent a lot of time in stores looking around at stuff we didn’t want or need.

Donna had signed up for a tour, but found out last night that she was surprisingly scheduled for a demo at the time of the tour, so she couldn’t go; I volunteered to take her spot, so I met the tour in the terminal at 12:45. It was a walking tour of the Old Town and a wine tasting. By this time, it was raining pretty hard, but we still did the walking tour. It was very educational, but by the end I was extremely cold and wet; my shoes were soaked through (my one pair of shoes other than work shoes!), and my jeans were soaked up to the knee. I liked the tour, but definitely would’ve preferred it during the summer, on a sunny day! The wine tasting was nice though, it was warm inside the restaurant. They had three different things for us to try: a white wine, a red wine, and a maple whiskey. In addition to that, they had bread and brie!! Not like the brie on the ship, this was good, creamy, yellowish-white brie (last time I had brie on this ship, it was brownish in the middle… not good at all). Everyone split up from the restaurant, so I wandered around town for a while before I was too cold to be happy anymore, especially since I was making wet footprints in every store; I made my way back to the ship where I had enough time to get somewhat dried off before dinnertime. I would have liked to have had dinner off the ship, but I didn’t know where anyone was and I had to work at 7 anyway. It was pajama party/movie night, so put in the movie Babe and cleaned up while the movie was going.
