My parents and I stayed at Le Simone, a B&B in the heart of Montreal. I felt like a Parisian waking up to freshly-baked croissants and cheese crepes that were enjoyed on the patio. The first day was spent walking around the shopping district and checking out Universities and Museums. *A congratulatory shout-out to my brother who will be attending Concordia for his Masters*. The second day, we took a horse carriage ride through old Montreal and visited the numerous cathedrals and basilicas. My favourite was St. Joseph's Oratory upon Mount Royal whose elevation is perfect for a picturesque view of the city. The hubbub of french culture and the classical antiquity is what I imagine all of Canada should be like. Montreal breathes inspiration. Of particular amusement were a row of swings found down a busy sidewalk street. On these swings were grown adults having the time of their lives. Each full swing produced melodic notes which left the street chiming with music. How ingenious. Surely musical swings can solve all the world's problems, yes?
Yours,
P. xo.
