Restaurants and clubs...I'm not in Sackville anymore!
Sushi!...can't get it like this in Sackville.

Poutine. I could tell this was a good one because the cheese curds squeaked when I chewed. I can still only manage to eat this at night, when it is very dark and I can't really see how gross it looks.
Ice skaters! Everyone has their own skates so I couldn't find any to rent : (
Old buildings on a cobblestone street.
Apple-filled crepe!
Old Port Market
That's a lot of spice!
Wonderful narrow streets.
There is a Hello Kitty store on this street (Mom and Bonnie, that's for you).
The street where everyone's Christmas presents were bought.

...It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
Location of my AMAZING traditional Quebec meal!
Traditional pea soup.
Traditional tourtière (savory mixed meat and potato pie with flaky crust) with red cabbage and a tomato, onion, peach sauce...I broke my vegetarianism for what I deemed a cultural experience.
Oh my goodness, Emily this is BEAUTIFUL! Definitely added to the top of my list of 'places to visit'. And the fact that it has a Hello Kitty store? HELLO!!!! How great is that?! The city is amazing and I am so jealous you spent time there. And the food - holy moly rolly poly! You must have had a very, very, VERY happy tummy :). I am now seriously considering learning French/Canadian and moving to Quebec, just so that I can be surrounded by such beauty - quaint and stupendous at the same time! Aghhh so jealous!
