Cant believe we have been here a week !! Its been great. I love this city !! Quaint in some areas. Old beautiful buildings. History, lots of history. And Food - lots of Food & Drink !! We've had Crepes, Montreal Poutine - cant believe the calories in that dish !! Other delicious dishes - not remembering the names !! We have shopped in Old Montreal, seen the Old Port and visited China Town. And unique shopping streets ! The shopping ! And we saw the 2 artists that I bought several paintings from when I was last here in 2009. I thought - those lucky men - doing exactly what they want to do - out there in their shops everyday and selling paintings everyday. Then I see Ron - - Poor Ron - the only man with us ! He happily tags along saying every time we stop to look at something " Get it if you would like it" !!
The weathers been pretty good too ! The other day it rained and we were inside Jodie's tiny apt for most of the day. Then Jodie had to leave to meet a gal at 3pm that she is teaching in a private lesson once a week. I told her I would go to the market and pick up few things that we thought we needed before she returned home ! I left around 4pm leaving Ron in the tiny apt with his IPod and IPad to catch up on. I am sure he was happy to be alone, away from two females and not have to go out to shop for anything.
Umbrella under arm - I left saying I would return within the hour. Out on the busy streets, I watched the vehicles quickly passing by as, I guessed, the people rushed home at the end of a day of work.
Oh Great !! It 's raining again !! I open the umbrella, stand on the corner, wait for the walk light. I quickly step back as a vehicle races past splashing that dirty road and rain water halfway into the sidewalk. Thanks goodness I am not drenched in it !! Why is everyone in such a rush ? Where are they all going ? I am on vacation. It feels casual, laid back, restful to me. Then my minds lingers back to my last few weeks in April when I was pounding those streets in Calgary. Cars, people and me rushing everywhere. I guess that's real life !! Thank goodness for vacations - we can forget all we have to do and just do what we want to do at least until returning from vacation to the real world ! !
