13. My trip to Quebec was very memorable
because the city seemed very European.
One small street was particularly quaint
and interesting. When I approached the
street, I saw a set of narrow, stone stairs
winding down to small boutiques below. On
the right of the stairs, there were small glass
tables at a caf辿 with red plastic chairs for the
customers. This seemed very European
since the tables and chairs were very close
together as they are in European restaurants.
.
Overall, I will remember the feeling that I
had while visiting Quebec for a long time
since I felt as though I experienced a little
piece of Europe while visiting the city.
