Hometown Glory-Adele
Back to Winnipeg it is! After a long weekend in Montreal, I'm so happy to be back. That saying of "there's no place like home" really is very true. As much as I love Montreal, I can only tolerate for short periods of time.
Things I love about Montreal:
-24hr wood-fired bagel joints
-the Orange Julep
-the Montreal Biodome
-the Botanical gardens
-Walking old Montreal
-Atwater Market
-Jason Hamlin (we miss you buddy)
-Gina Ravinsky (for a lady in her 80's, you got more pep than I do)
-St Hubert's Quarter chicken meal and sauce
-Harmonie Bakery and Chinatown in general.
Things I loathe about Montreal:
-gridlocked traffic
-Montreal drivers
-Crumbling Freeways
-Obvious Materialism
-The unforgiving nature of strictly French people
Obviously there are more pros than cons and that's what keeps me going back. This past trip was far from a vacation. Everything was so packed in to such a small amount of time and there was no stops in between.
Next time I hope we get a bit more free time to explore the town. Just wander the streets with no agenda and no time constraints...
J'aime et je te hais de Montréal ... et je serai de retour (I love and hate you montreal... and I will be back)
