There Certainly Is Always Something To Do Here

So much has happened this week, I don’t even know where to start! I’ve listened to opera in the Metro, I’ve eaten at the famous Schwartz’, I’ve been to Costco (yes, there are even Costco’s in Canada), I’ve been to the largest movie theater I’ve ever seen, I’ve ordered delivery pizza (an adventure unto itself) and I’ve watched the Superbowl with French commentary.

But why stop there? In the last month more has happened than I have had a chance to write about. Kellie and I have explored numerous city streets, sampled espresso all up and down Saint Denis, tried on every pair of shoes on Saint Laurant, made home made putine (pronounced PuTIN by the way, not PuTEEN), gotten lost in rather frightening part of town, danced next to igloos, and wandered the halls of many museums.

We have made a best friend out of the near by Esso gas station attendant “Bad,” who has gotten to know our buying habits of ketchup chips and Nibbletts. Kel and I have traveled to the port and back, and braved many windy snow flurries.

While I write this I can’t help but think that while I seem to have done so much, there is still more that I want to do. How can I make the time to see everything before I have to return to Vermont? I still want to visit the Oratory, shop for fresh produce at the Atwater Marche, ski at Mount Tremblant, ice skate above the city at Mount Royal, and so much more.

Let’s see how much of these I can get done before I go back home! The best part is that new experiences can come out of no where. February is going to be great!
