Bonjour from Ville de Montreal
Hey All,
After a few days in NYC, where i toured the town, did some shopping on 34th Street, wandered 5th Ave, strolled through Central Park, rode the subway, went to the US Open, visited Ground Zero, walked across the Brooklyn Bridge into Brooklyn just to name a few, i needed a break from the Hustle and Bustle. While NYC is a pretty cool place and one could easily spend a month there, the whole point of the trip was to get to a few places. One being Montreal, and that is where i am now.
Yesterday Skye and I caught the train up from NY, which was pretty cool, with Autumn colours already starting to dot the country side. Today we wandered through Old Montreal which is very French. Well from my limited knowledge of france, and that is what i have seen in photos. Lckily we are in Canada, and people will still speak English because i have zero knowledge of French. It ends at Bonjour, although today a shop assistant taught me to say “Sorry i do not speak French” so i have one phrase. With a French influence there are lots of cafe’s to choose from which is perfect for someone like me that loves the coffee. And what quality coffee it is. No offence intended, (ok maybe a little) but on the whole coffee in Nth America is pretty average! Granted there are exceptions, but on average, not great.
We are up here for a few days, and then i will travel back to NYC via Middlebury, Vermont where Natali who used to work with us at Forerunners is now living. So that should be a change from NYC, as Middlebury is a small college town of a few thousand people.
As well as some more time in NYC, i am also working on DC and Boston.
So plenty to keep me occupied.
When i get back to NYC and have my laptop with me i’ll do photos and more of a write up. Until now i’ll make the occasional blog entry on here.
till then…
Aaron
