After twelve or so hours of travel, I'm back and ready to crawl into my own (non-inflatable) bed. My last day in Quebec was lovely. I walked through most of the old city, had lunch at a Lonely Planet-recommended restaurant which was hosting its 2nd annual "Grilled Cheese Festival", took the Funiculaire back up the hill, and then returned to the hostel for a short nap followed by a glass of wine and dinner with two fellow hostellers from Switzerland (I'm starting to think that I REALLY like the Swiss, based on the handful I've met) and a long evening in bed with--no, dear readers, NOT the Swiss girls --THE HUMMINGBIRD'S DAUGHTER, a novel which I had picked up thinking it would be good, fluffy vacation reading, but which is actually fantastic.
It was quite an adventure, and I'm flattered (and somewhat surprised) to hear that so many of you (aside from the "usual suspects") enjoyed reading about it! Stay tuned for "Mer's 30th in Paris" (assuming that financial circumstances don't force me to downgrade it to "Mer's 30th at the Parkway Tavern"), coming some time between June and December of 2008 ("Big" birthday celebrations should start at least six months in advance, shouldn't they?).
Bon Soiree!
