Montreal
Our apartment here isn’t as flash as the last ones but the location is great. We are once again in Little Italy and there are lots of cafes and bakeries nearby. Check out the pole we can see from our kitchen window.
We spent a delightful morning in the Jean Talon market, looking at terrines, saucisson, fish, pies, cakes, fruit and vegetables, and lots more. My idea of a morning well spent.
Our coffee break was of a higher standard than usual as we had to try a couple of the works of art in the boulangerie/patisserie.
Lunch was also a treat as we had bread with cheeses, sausage and terrine. Mmm mmm!
After lunch we went exploring the neighbourhood, which is known for its wrought iron staircases leading to first floor dwellings.
Saw some gorgeous squirrels in a park and further in, people were ice skating on the lake.
The ice on paths, roads and open spaces is a challenge and some areas are simply “no go”.
Great sounding and looking food experiences
ReplyDeleteIs that a big red tomato on top of macaroni, on bread?????? Just love those brownstone houses with outdoor staircases! Also love the squirrel in his fluffy winter coat. And the food looks wonderful (apart from the macaroni)! I SO want to skate on a lake like that, or a river! Enjoy your last week; we're looking forward to seeing you.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely getting lots of experiences.
