Quebec
God, I love that place - the whole province.
Just was in Quebec City this week for a few days' R&R.
Beautiful architecture, fascinating historic sites, gorgeous nature, excellent food....
The French cultural influence gives it a great bookstore culture, which I absolutely love. So many places to browse through and authors to learn about. I picked up some promising Quebecois novels that I hope to get to soon.
And the people are just so freakin' friendly and warm.
Sigh.... I wish I'd stayed longer. Maybe I need to take a long weekend trip back up there sometime in the fall.
Anyway, just wanted to share and figured this was the place.

Yup, that's my city alright 
I sometimes feel like our culture is very much americanized, but I'm always surprised to realize that I feel more at home traveling through Europe rather than the US.. I like to think we have integrated the best of both cultures, on a totally chauvinistic note
