Comfort Inn Brossard 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.

Salut.

São 5 horas da manhã em Montreal. Ontem eu comprei um rádio-relógio pra ver se, junto com o alarme do meu celular, eu consigo me acordar e ir à aula, que começa às 8:30. O pior de ter insônia é tentar dormir. Acho que o insone profissional não fica tentando dormir, como eu fiquei até às 3 da manhã. Ele deve arrumar um monte de coisa pra fazer. Coisas produtivas. Eu escolhi assistir a um filme. My Life In Ruins, com Nia Vardalos ...

... 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...

... a very big mountain but its right in the middle of the city and the cross at the very top is visible from most parts of the city. The metro station isn’t very close so I had to walk down Mont Royal Avenue where I was tempted and then gave in and had another crepe. They are just so yum!

... un très bon remède pour ne pas s'endormir. Les prochains français qui viennent nous rendre visite: on vous fera faire notre ménage pour pas que vous vous endormiez! (ça tombe sur vous Fab et Virg!).
Malgré ça, j'ai quand même hate que Mathieu arrive avec tout le matos du dodo, ça devient assez difficile de tenir debout. L'appartement est complètement vide, pas de chaise, pas de canapé, pas de lit, rien pour se poser, à part les toilettes!!!!
Mathieu m'appelle de chez ...

... 24 pack) just for me. I don't know what he was thinking. I shared the beer with some of the folks. Made tons of friends. This guy from Jersey (the country) who was pretty funny and had some great stories from traveling around the world. Nick, a guy from the UK who had jokes left and right about everything. He had a joke about everything you'd say, good guy. These two sisters, Sara and I forget the other girl's name. Also this group from NY State that ...

... au Jardin Botanique de Montreal, veritable paradis pour tous les amoureux de fleurs et de verdure. Dans ce jardin se trouve egalement l'Insectarium ou les hommes, de tout leur gigantisme, peuvent observer les petits insectes qui peuplent notre planete, et decouvrir ou redecouvrir que la Nature est bien faite, et que parfois, certains insectes savent mieux gerer leur societe que les hommes qui ont pris le pouvoir sur Terre ...

... beef noodle soup). Basically that was it, altho the pho did make us v happy. Still, it passed the time and we didn´t spend much. We went back to the airport and settled down for a suprisingly good nights sleep on some benches. I even managed to pull whilst catchng 40 winks! A guy woke me up in the middle of the night to ask me if I wanted to go for a drink, he seemed suprised when I declined!

... through the city and across to the old World Expo '67 fairgrounds. We also ascend to the top of Mount Royal (hence the city's name) for wonderful views in every direction. We enjoy an early dinner with Chris and Jim as we have a train to catch in the morning. It has been a whirlwind visit, but we feel that we had an excellent introduction to this wonderful city. We'll be back, no doubt, and might even plan a tour here in the future! Hugs, Dan
