O Canada! The Mersys Escape to Quebec
Two weeks ago on a Thursday evening, Mr. Mersy came home and said he had Friday and Monday off of work. It seemed like too good of an opportunity to miss for an impromptu summer vacation. Where to go for a long weekend? How about Canada?! We thought it might be nice to escape NYC over the 4th of July and head somewhere nice and quiet. So we hopped into the car on Friday morning, tossed a suitcase in the trunk, snuggled Penny in her bed in the back seat, and drove 6 hours north till we crossed the St. Laurence and reached Montreal. Little did we know that we'd arrived not only on Canada Day, but also smack dab in the middle of the Montreal International Jazz Festival and the Quebec City summer fest- it was a hopping place indeed!
Montreal
In Montreal there were museums and botanic gardens and fireworks and street art galore.
Quebec City
In Quebec City we sunned ourselves in parks, on outdoor terraces and in old-world streets.
But now we are home again, and everything is humid and gross in NYC. But at least we know that just six hours north, beyond the valleys of the Adirondacks is a place of fresh breezes and other-worldliness. And there's a border patrol officer that doesn't mind Penny licking his hear!
Where will you escape to this summer? Let me know!
Lots of love,
