Gite La Cinquieme Saison Montreal

So I haven't actually flown out yet, but I'm planning to.. In 9 hours. I just wanted to get my fans pumped up to read more about my adventures.

It's snowing a lot outside (in GFPK). I foresee a nice 1.5 hour bus ride from downtown Montreal to PET airport.

... da minha mãe, com algumas adaptações. Não ficou no ponto ideal, mas ainda tenho mais dois pedaços de frango pra cozinhar. As três coisas que eu quero fazer quando chegar ao Brazil são: matar a saudade de Pingo, rever minha família e comer um galeto na receita original da minha mãe.
Vou passar o próximo fim-de-semana em New York. Formamos um grupo de quatro pessoas, então o custo do aluguel do carro e da hospedagem deve ficar abaixo de C ...

... people going elsewhere. Street artists were showing seasonal paintings - snow covered spiral staircases, snow on the streets, snow on the roofs. We truly felt a snow anticipation in the air

Uphill from a plaza was Quartier Latin where we had an evening coffee. Waiters kept asking us in French and we could not shake off a feeling of being in a magnificently unreal place

Several times we saw signs "Come back in May". I wonder...

After coming back down to ground level, I wandered around the Olympic park a bit before realising the time - it's 2pm, my train's at 4, and there's so much left to do! I wandered in the direction I thought was the metro, realised I was going the wrong way entirely [uphill, too!] and grabbed the next green line train to Berri station, for a quick and easy connection to the short yellow line to Ile Sainte-Helene and the Jean Drapeau Park, where the Biosphere and another really great view ...

... lets drive all the way back" moment from me). On Sunday, we rested in Philadelphia, but by Monday we were back on the road-the destination: my sister Laura's place in Montreal! Alex rolled into town Monday morning for the drive up to Montreal. We were working off the supposition that if you drive north far enough you'll hit Canada, and there are only like one or two ...

... and small boutique stores. I just walked around and around and then decided I needed a rest and a coffee. I again had a quick look at my Italian phrasebook, but was feeling pretty tired at this point. But onwards I went... walking and walking and walking.... to Parc du Mont-Royal. A huge park on a hill called Mount Royal. I started walking up a bit, but didn't want to do too much in thongs. I thought there might be some good ...

... de bijoux, peinture, toiles, scrapbooking, papeterie, etc...etc...). Le numero 1 dans sa categorie au Canada avec 26 magasins a travers le pays. L'equivalent en France serait Loisirs et Creations, ou Graphigro pour les connaisseurs. J'ai une petite pensee pour Perrine (j'ai 35% de rabais en magasin, yeah!!!). Et puis l'avantage, c'est que je vais bosser en centre-ville, 7 arrets de metro, 5 minutes de marche en tout... Que demander de plus? Alors voila ...

... when you look at it but having conversations in different languages with different people confuses things (that's my excuse anyway!). 2. 'flashing someone the Vs' doesn't work here- it is the same as peace, but used more often! This has confused some confusion already - I just thought people were randomly rude. This discovery lead to a random historical conversation and amazement from all the Canadians who apologized for ...

... to start with something familier and seeing as I was near the Englsh section of town I went to the Hard Rock Cafe for food and Guinness. We had nicknamed it the English Quarter because along the Rue Crescent are a couple of Irish bars, a bar that advertises itself as traditional London pub (the prices were London like - expensive!) and the Winston Churchill Pub Complex, a grand name for a bit of a dive. As it was I was starved of rock music ...

... underutilised paths to and from the rink. I had found a beautiful restaurant called "Chez le Epicier" and I wanted to do lunch there. (I figure that lunch is less sad alone than dinner. I wish I could articulate the reason, but doing so may break the spell, and I'll realise that it is just as sad and lonely in daylight as night) Imagine my surprise to find that they only open at 1730 on Saturdays! I could have screamed after having walked all that way, but no one ...
