Longueuil - Days Inn Montreal South Shore

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.

... 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...

... re place ou je pourrais dormir:
Camping Chez Denise!

Me voila donc dans une plantation de roulottes habitées par des octagénaires bedonnants et s'adonnant au jeu de poches et fer à cheval!
Je me sens comme un espion dans une secte!
Je n'ai jamais compris ce genre de vacanciers qui se "park" pour l'été sur un minuscule terrain de 2 mètres carrés entourés de millions de leurs semblables cordés comme des sardines.
Peut-être apprécient-ils la vue ...

... rance contenue du public aux alentours. Entre l'odeur des saucisses grillées du stand qui se trouvait derrière nous, et l'arôme doucereuse et subtile de nos bières, nous avions déjà tous trois décidé, sans s'en parler pourtant, de revenir l'an prochain. Et à ce moment-là, nos comparaisons seront franchement impitoyables, vives comme l'éclair, implacables ; on sera des habitués du Mondial, quoi." Mais une chose importante n'est pas mentionnée dans ce texte (normal, c ...

So, it's off to Montreal again to hang out with my favourite travel blogger, Mike Richard from vagabondish.com. Initially, I wanted to get there on my new motorcycle, but this was not to be. I didn't get enough practice in, and wasn't confident enough to take on the four hour drive by myself. I asked Derek, my volunteer motorcycle instructor if he would be interested in taking me on the back of his bike and he said yes. I thought that would be an awesome idea, so I jumped at the ...

... notre itinéraire, quoi que très théorique jusqu'à maintenant. Nous espérons avoir le temps de voir toutes ces villes, mais nous nous laisserons guider par nos pays hôtes. Voici donc notre plan de match: - Départ de Montréal Samedi soir pour Cuzco, Pérou. - Visite de 3 jours de Cuzco et de la vallé sacré (ancienne cité inca). - Randonnée de 4 jours et de 40 km à 4000 mètres d'altitudes pour rejoindre ...

... National Museums 18. Bayeux Tapestry, Bayeux, France. 19. Juno Beach, Coursuelles-sur-Mer, France 20. A warm, sandy, Spanish beach. Most overrated attractions: 1. The Vatican Museums (controversial decision, I know - although I love the Sistine Chapel) 2. Buckingham Palace, London, England. 3. William Wallace Memorial (a statue that looks like a shortarse Aussie we all know I think influences my opinion) 4. The London Eye (sorry Terry!) 5 ...

... to be changed within me to get there. But every day I get up and force myself to remember how things really are. I force myself to be in the present moment, trying to be conscious of as many actions, intentions and feelings that I can. It's a little similar to the Vipassana Meditation I attended to several weeks ago. At first, your legs hurt so much you feel they are going to break apart. But if you manage to detach yourself from the pain and remain ...

... great photography of the demolition of Chinese cities that would be soon covered in water as part of the Three Gorges Project in Wan Zhou province, China. amazing to see whole cities destroyed... torn apart and build down... for the sake of the HUGE damming project... appealed to the human geographer in me!!... The rest of the week was spent chillin out waiting in anticipation of New Years this coming Friday!!!... Next blog... New Years Eve!!!.... Love & kisses, bc.xxx
