Yes, if you read french you will see the title says that Josh and I had a lovely weekend in Montréal!
We decided to go somewhere on Friday after I was successful in securing a place for the pups here. We weighed our options between Boston and Montréal and finally went with the later because:
A) It is an hour closer to drive (which it ended up NOT being! Montréal is a 2.5 hour drive from our house, but of course we managed to get ourselves lost and had to backtrack 1.5 hours out of our way to find the hwy we needed! Arg! Not a good way to start a vacation!)
B) We thought since it was Memorial Day Weekend,and Montréal is in Canada, it wouldn't be as busy. (I'm sure we were wrong about this too because it took me three hours on the internet to find a hotel that wasn't booked solid!)
So once we finally got to Montréal, we found our hotel and checked out our "european style" room. I was a little worried about the condition of the hotel since there weren't many photos on their website. Let me just say for the record, there is a reason why there aren't many photos. No, not because the room was dirty, but because it was THE TINIEST ROOM KNOWN TO MAN! Apparently, "europeans" are quite small and don't need to, say, sit on the toilet straight like a normal person. They like to sit on it sideways because there are no room for their legs between the wall and the seat. And the shower? Two foot square works fine for them! Why on earth would you need to turn around in the shower? As if a back needs to be washed! Even the TV was tiny, only 13"! Josh and I got a good laugh out of it, though so it was all in good fun.
Anyhow, Saturday we drove down to Rue Sainte-Catherine and saw a movie at the Paramount. Besides worrying incessantly that the car wasn't going to be there when we got back, (We had some confusion reading the french parking meter and were unsure whether we were supposed to pay. Since we hadn't yet transferred our funds to Canadian, paying wasn't an option.) we had a nice time. I just love big movie theatres! We saw Star Wars of course, and aside from some VERY fake looking lava, it wasn't that bad! I think I actually liked it better than Josh! (He was pissed off about some 'glaring errors' Lucas made that apparently contradicted the early movies.)
Hmm.. So on to Sunday. Actually, I better continue this tomorrow, this post is long and I've got to get home, work is over! :)
to be coninued...
