Montreal, eh?

Apologies that I haven't posted in a while. Things were a bit hectic for the last month or so, with the Capstone coming to an end and having to move out of Syracuse at the same time. I'm hanging out in Montreal for a couple of weeks before heading back to Atlanta and really jumping into the job search.

Here's what I've done so far:

-Walked along Ste. Catherine St., taking care to check out all the cool boutique-like shops while doing so.
-Eaten at Le Taj, and discovered probably the best Indian food I've ever had the pleasure of consuming. (Sorry Ma, it's true.)
-Visited the Musee des Beaux Arts. They have a nice little collection, but what's even cooler is the newish gallery building across the street.
-Spent an hour in Chapters, a bookstore resembling Borders, but somehow a little chic-er.
-Had a drink on the terrace at Sky, a bar near Old Montreal. The view is amazing, and the sangria is delightful.

-Peeked in at the Montreal Jazz Festival while walking around the area.
-Stopped in a delightful cafe in St. Lambert for lunch during an afternoon of window shopping.

It's been fun and very relaxing. I've actually been reading books for pleasure again, and that has been so gratifying. The weather has been pleasant too. It's not been too warm, so it's perfect for walking around outside. The Just For Laughs comedy festival starts this week, and it should be interesting to check out some of those shows.

(Hopefully I'll be able to put up some of my own pictures soon, but I misplaced my camera cord when I was moving last week. I'll figure something out, though.)
