I’m writing this from Cosmos Cafe in Quebec where I’ve chowed down this enormous plate of fruit and pancakes. I’d ordered their pancakes with fruit and when the plate arrived I couldn’t even see the pancakes underneath the mound of fruit heaped on top! 

Last night I left Charlottetown and drove straight towards Quebec, only stopping for gas along the way. This morning I made the remainder of the drive and since I gained an hour because of the time change I got into the city pretty early. So I took a spin around the Plains of Abraham, where the British defeated the French to take control of the city of Quebec during the Seven Years War and am now eating a ridiculous amount of fruit. 

As I was leaving Charlottetown, I’d put on some Queens of the Stone Age to take me out of town. I was getting pretty into it and at one of the last lights before the highway I found myself rocking some imaginary drums in the front seat of my car. I looked up, mid drum solo, to see the couple in the car beside me laughing hysterically at my antics! I saluted them with the “devil horns” and kept rocking out. I figured no-one knows me in PEI, so what do I care. 

Right before I left Charlottetown we ate a huge meal at a pub called Hunter’s Ale House. I’d ordered their “turkey dinner special” along with their mid-sized glass of Rickards White beer and got this enormous mug of beer with a sizable turkey dinner. It was all I could do to stuff the whole thing down.

Now I’m going to take a wander around Quebec city for a little while and then hit the road again. Next stop (besides gas and sleep) is Calgary!
