Last summer (2012), my boyfriend and I went on a road trip to Quebec! It was a seven hour drive, but my goodness was the scenery beautiful. The clouds were like paintings! Truly breathtaking.
Random story, but on the way there, we didn’t have any Canadian money, our phones started charging crazy for roaming, and we were almost out of gas. We did a pit stop in Drummondville where everyone only spoke French! We semi-freaked out about being stranded in Canada, but luckily we came across a hotel that swapped just enough money for us to buy enough gas to reach Canada.
The buildings and architecture was even more stunning. I’ve never been to Europe, so it all felt very French.
Look what I found in the street!
They had the most amazing murals.
Look at the beautiful castle hotel we stayed in!
Quebec. Something I’d definitely do again – but be careful. It was way more expensive than we originally thought it’d be because there’s a Canadian tax, Quebec tax, and the US dollar is worth less than Canadian money now. But so beautiful…
I was stopping by to say thank you for your nice comment on my blog, but then I got sidetracked by these BEAUTIFUL PICTURES! Quebec!
But, also, thanks! If you ever want advice on post-grad life, I’m happy to provide what little I’ve accrued. Real life is not that scary, it turns out!

Aw, thanks so much, Blair! Advice…I must admit the real world still seems a bit scary since I don’t have a job yet and thus am not 100% sure where I’ll end up. Plus, with the job market and all… Did you struggle with anxiety at all about jobs, money, or what you’d end up doing in life? 🙂
