Sometimes, you get a lovely combination of nice weather, terrible boredom, and zero plans whatsoever… The obvious solution is to dress up and go to my favourite restaurant in the tourist district for an amazing meal. (Because life is too short to require special occasions.) My fellow bus passengers were a bit confused, which is always a fun bonus.

Incidentally, if you’re ever in Quebec City, and wandering through the tourist district, and want to have a great meal without paying a fortune, I highly recommend checking out Au Petit Coin Breton. Their mimosa salad is gigantic, delicious, and a great deal – and the bottomless coffee is surprisingly good!

Life can be beautiful, if you will only let it.
