Le Crystal de la Montagne Montreal

and I'm thinking about this trip. I'm salivating about this trip. I would like to be going tomorrow.<br>BUT.....<br>There is more preparations to go through. Like some suitcase to buy. Some vaccine to get may be(not sure yet). And some money to save to be able to spend it later.<br>In the mean time we look at photos of other trips and also reading about trips like Australia were some people ...

On the first day, monday the 18th, Maria stayed in the Hotel to recover from allover shock of the consequences of being a BF, MY BF!! Soriano, [or Ronaldo] came to pick me up and we walked all over Montreal. First impression, incredible quiet! People and car wise. Such fresh air! So quiet. Nearly empty streets, it was a National ...

... since it was a family wedding. We been putting this off the whole week that Teresa needed a dress for the wedding. From some friends at the Hostel, we were told to check out Simons. It was basically a nicer AND cheaper version of Macys. She got a beautiful dress that was very affordable. Glad that's over with. We then said our goodbyes to Owen as he had to head out. Teresa, Louise and I walked around montreal with no real plan besides heading down ...

... day involved much of the same with us taking things easy. We had lunch in a local cafe and then Joe took Sarah, Aunty Dorothy, Ben and myself on a tour around Montreal in his car. We saw the Grand Prix race track but unfortunately couldnt drive on it as there was a skating race on there! We also visited Old Montreal and the Latin Quarter, where we saw typical Montreal style houses which often have elaborate stairs leading to the front door. For tea we had curry ...

... we went to have a look at some others, there was an orange one that didn't look too bad from afar, but turned out to have a loop in it too. David and Andrew went on this one and the rest of us (Joe, Christina and Rebecca) went off to do something else. The queues for everything were really long so we just wandered round for ages, laughing at random things, looking in some of the rides and wondering about the sanity of the people ...

... a message on a board or at reception but since people walk in and out all the time without stopping at reception there is no hard and fast solution. I left a message for Martin on the board by the front door and stomped off, Magnum boots are well suited for the purpose. I had checked my emails at Le Sous-bois before I left and there had been nothing from Martin so I had no way of contacting him, this left me at a loose end. As with Toronto I ...

... was not what I wanted since I was planning to go to the Marché Jean Talon. Well I went anyway, and it just got heavier after I left the shelter of the Metro. On the way to the Marche, I walked through little Italy.....in the rain. It looks a lot like little Italy in Brunswick, Melbourne and Leichhardt, Sydney. ****** stores with really ****** wedding clothes in it. How can a country with so much style in it, beget so many offspring around the world who think that ...

Flew through to Halifax after once again narrowly making my connection in Montreal where the baggage people who are PAID TO HELP YOU don't know how to find their ass from their elbow. I'm guessing the fact that I didn't parlez vous along with them didn't help my cause much either. When asked if I should stay and fill out the form ...
