Montreal

[xiphias]

Lis and I are in Montreal, to help papersky celebrate her book.

Montreal is a great city. Montreal is a city which believes that french fries need gravy and cheese on them. In this, as among other things, Montreal is right.

Envy is a terrible thing.

What do they drink there?

Anything and everything. Tea, coffee, excellent fruit juices, cider, beer, wine, fizzy water, frappes,—

Montreal is a puzzling but delicious city.

I *adore* Montreal and cannot wait to go back... Except that I also want to hit Quebec City too. And midnightstation has never been to Toronto which is uber fabulous. Neither of us has been to Vancouver either....

I think I just really love Canada :)

Look at you: traveling international style TWICE in one year!!!

Yes! I am impressed - and glad that you are having a good time. I love Montreal, too - went there once with dad when you were a baby, and had a great time. I also love the rest of Canada, although I have only visited the country a handful of times - camping with the girl scouts when I was in elementary school, the trip with dad when we were young marrieds, my trip to Hollyhock Retreat Center to learn healing chant, and a visit to Vancouver to my rabbi and his wife (same trip as to Hollyhock). All are wonderful memories. I want to return, perhaps to Vancouver again and on to Alaska. Any trains going north?

I like fries with gravy, I like 'em with cheese, but I have yet to find either a vegetable gravy I like or declare poutine to be on my list of favorite sins, alas. I do like how they make fries with cheese and sour cream up there, though. Yum...
Hope the book celebration is going well, and Browngirl says Hi to everybody :) All our best.

How did you get there? If you drove and took 90 to 87, you came within 5 minutes of my house ... if so, do you want to see if we can get together on your way back?

We drove 93 to 89, which is kind of the hypotenuse compared to the 90->87 route.
And last night, we left Montreal shortly after midnight.
Maybe another time.

Oooo, Montreal. Haven't been there since highschool. Enjoy! :)

I'm bummed I didn't know about poutine when I was visiting Montreal. Next time! If you're still there, there's an incredible chocolate place where they indulge you with things like crepes with melted chocolate and bananas, chocolate fondues, and even small shots of melted chocolate.

Also about two blocks from where I'm sitting right now. Haven't gone, yet, though, and don't know if I'll have time. Several folks here have gone.

Poutine: C'est bon!
