Welcome to Quebec

Towards the mountains

Good morning!
Today is day 1 on our vacation well yesterday kind of was.

We woke up at 2am and finished packing up and hit the road for a long drive. I'll tell you I was feeling a wee bit nervous slightly worried about my anxiety and my IBS.
So here is how I prevented it: at 9:30pm on Saturday i took a half a miligram of lorazepam before going to bed. When I woke up at two i made a tea my BF had found a long time ago, it's made by traditional medicinals its called Organic Easy Now its supposed to be good for your nervous system and keep you calm and relaxed. I think it helped.

The man made me sleep so I would stay relaxed for longer. He is so caring and understanding :) The drive went pretty fast early in the morning at about 9 we stopped just outside Montreal for breakfast at Cora's. We then decided we would stop in Montreal and visit old Montreal. However when we got there our GPS (aka the mans Iphone) and my parents GPS sent us in different directions. My parents went to an observation spot although they told us it was a building we would stop at so we drove past them twice. This frustrated the man because the drivers in the city are crazy and there were bikers riding in the middle of the road and would just randomly cut in front you so he was afraid he was going to hit one. Once we finally met up we decided to keep going.

Around 1 we stopped for lunch at McDonalds. The man and i ate some tuna I brought though so we ate healthy :) we also brought some cheese sticks and crackers and pepperettes as well so we had lots of snacks.

Most of the ride went well until we were about two hours and a half hours away from our destination when we hit some bad traffic. When we finally passed it we got into Quebec city and our gps' took us in different directions again but the man and I got ahead of my parents. until they insisted we had gone the wrong way so we got confused but i knew I recognized it from years ago when we came.

We were right. We got into the chalet on a mountain in the Charlevoix area around 5 and got all unpacked. We can normally see the St. Lawerance River from the dining room although this morning it is pretty foggy. Last night we all took it easy, had a steak dinner and watched some tv then went to bed nice and early. We are still trying to plan today possibly going to a church or maybe into the lower town.

Montreal

CBC in Montreal - I may one day work at the one in T.O so this was cool
