Quebec City

First full day in Quebec can pretty much be summed up as me lying on the ground throwing up and sweating profusely cursing my poor decision making. Started feeling better around dinner time and tried eating some dinner and some water. Total snake- that stayed down for approximately no minutes before making a break for it. I continue to be the lamest house guest ever. Thankfully Marc and N'oemi are the nicest people ever and let me know I can stay until I am in better shape. They are now my cycling inspiration; Marc has toured all over Canada and Europe and they are planning an indefinitely long trip from QC to Alaska and then down the west coast to South America. So cool.

Second day I am actually feeling better, and take off to explore and take in the old city. Still feeling pretty weak, but food is staying down so that's good. Quebec City is beautiful, and I spent the day ambling around checking out the fortifications. I imagine this is what walking around Europe must feel like: everything is just insanely old. I really enjoyed it.

When I called home to check in, my parents offered to put me up in a hotel for a night to finish recovering, which I great fully accept. I spend one more night with M&N and was hopefully better company, then the next day took off for another day of exploring, then settled in for a luxurious evening in a queen sized bed with my own shower.

Overall Quebec City was awesome. Big ups to my lovely hosts, and many thanks to family for setting up such a lovely final evening!
