We rented a van and drove 5-6 hours up to Canada. How lovely it is to escape the dirty, noisy, crowded city to a beautiful, quaint clean city full of food. What did we do up there? Have fun, take TONS of pictures and EAT. Started with a breakfast of pastries and bagels, snack at Tim Hortons, lunch at Vietnamese (my taste buds were elated to taste a piece of home), another snack at Second Cup coffee shop, another snack at Schwartz’s for the BEST smoked brisket, ice cream for dessert and last snack of poutine (Canadian dish of fries, cheese curds and gravy YUM). In between all the eating we took pictures, rode bikes, toured McGill University, got stranded both at McGill and Second Cup because of thunderstorms. We got so ansty to leave that we resorted to using newspapers to try to stay dry. Did it work? Duh! NO! Papers are not waterproof! We were not thinking with our brains, but with our stomachs. I’m ashamed to say that we got so desperate, we each bought bright yellow ponchos and wore them like dorky tourists, only to realize that we had just 2 more blocks to walk.
