So the whole week I was trying to figure out where he was going to take me and I came up with 3 possible ideas 1. Niagara (falls or on the lake) 2. Up north somewhere, not camping but to a resort/lodge/ B& B type place OR 3. Montreal..... It was Montreal!!!He kept it a secret and it was a good surprise, I really loved it. I honestly had my mind set on Niagara and since I have never been to Montreal but always wanted to go I was pleasantly surprised when I realized where we were going.
Montreal is everything I had imagined it to be and more... As a child I remember spending time with an aunt in Québec city. I remember it to this day even though that took place in my early childhood years. I must have been no much older that 6yrs and I remember vividly the beauty and charm of the city. It must have made such an impression on me to have these memories etched in my mind to this day.
So from those memories I had an idea of what Montreal should look like. What I saw was beautiful; it was old and new at the same time. A perfectly executed combination of old world charm meets new modern chic. The architecture is absolutely amazing; the energy of the city is so vibrant and full of life. I love to hear groups of girls or people talking to each other in French. The food well let just say I think I can live off of Crêpes and poutine for a good while.
After having a little dab of Montreal I come to realize that asides the French name that I hold I might have been French in my past life... maybe even French Canadian. I love the language, food, eating baguettes with cheese especially brie, don’t get me started on the patisseries, and Wine...let not forget the romance! Now tell me how can anyone get that wrong? Somewhere in my heart there is a fleur the lies and I love my wonderful bf for taking me on this wondrous delightful trip even though it was as short as it was.
Je T’aime mon amour et montreal aussi. xoxo
