our hotel

awkward

-painfully trying to order a meal in french during our trip to quebec city.  our server was nice enough to just speak to us in English half way through the meal.

-running along the rideau canal and being attacked by a bird.  i hoped no one saw, but there were two guys behind me when i stopped to fix my headband.

-trying to change my clothes after hot yoga…  it looks like i jumped in a pool {of my own sweat}.

-the disappointed look on people’s face when they ask when in the states i’m from and i say michigan.  there is nothing wrong with michigan!

-leaving a restaurant after sitting for 15 minutes and looking at the menu and not finding anything i want.  good thing we are tourists and never have to see that server again.

awesome {there are too many to list, but here are a few}

-kettleman’s bagels.  stone fire cooked bagels, seriously the best bagels i’ve ever had.

-having my husband to myself every evening and weekend with NO law books in sight.

-the van gogh exhibit at the national art gallery.

-the parliament buildings in ottawa and quebec city.

-feeling like i get a second honeymoon with my man.

-sacrament meeting in french.

-out of the oven butter croissants and farmer market strawberries for breakfast.

-how excited jon is about everything we get to see and do together here. 

-the creperie we found in quebec

-the french architecture in quebec with cobble stone roads! so cool! 

-running along the rideau canal after yoga on parliament hill {the times when a bird didn't attack me}

can't believe we only have a week and a half left here!  

see you soon family and friends!!
