Montreal return

[charloween]

Am back from Montreal stop. Had a crazy time with AG and KH stop. Next time need more than a day in the city stop. PICTURES!!!! stop.



- piratefanatic is just as lovely in person as she is online. I get the feeling we would've been friends even if we'd met in rl first. Which is an awesome thought. *waves!*
- stickchick596 is also quite lovely, and a total superhero for driving all. that. way. *waves, too!*)
- having a guide and/or a Plan would have been useful. It's better to be in a city you don't know with someone who can show you around. Also: taking the subway down to Old Montreal would have been more awesome than just taking it back.
- having more direction would have meant that we wouldn't have wandered through the boring parts of the city and would have made it directly to the fun parts (some of which I found when I went out for a walk Saturday night).
- “17 degrees and overcast” is obviously Montreal French for “22 degrees and barely a cloud in the sky” because MAN the weather was gorgeous.
- “depanneur” is French for “fun little store which sells beer and ice cream”. There need to be depanneurs in Ontario.
- Jaques Cartier had a shop-vac.
- I should probably learn to take more pictures.

Now I know the places I'd like to go back and see again, and I also know that on my next trip to Montreal I'll give myself at least a week because a day isn't nearly enough to relax and explore.

In other news, today is dantae_hicks's 20th birthday! My little brother... no longer a teenager... *sniff*
