honeymoon - day 8

This morning we bid "au revoir" to Québec City and drove back to Montréal so that we could return our rental car. By the time we reached our new hotel, it was afternoon. Our new hotel, the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth, sits right across the street from an absolutely gorgeous church called the Cathédrale Marie-Reine-du-Monde, a smaller scale (though still enormous) replica of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.

Despite the beauty, despite being in the heart of Québec's biggest metropolis, we were so exhausted from our whirlwind tour of the very white Great White North that we spent our day hanging our in our pajamas, marveling at the cathedral ourside our windows, and watching Little Miss Sunshine. Funny movie, but not the be-all and end-all of cinema as so many people made it out to be for us.

Essentially, we're kinda' beat from so much R and R. We're both looking forward to heading home on Friday and spending the weekend unwinding and slipping comfortably back into everyday, non-Wedding life. Canada has been incredible, but our sofa and 65° weather is really starting to sound pretty incredible, too.
