Today is my last full day in Montreal, and it’s been an extremely relaxing one at that. I awoke to find that it was absolutely pouring outside, so I dressed, donned my handy umbrella and decided to walk around anyway. After 10 days here, I feel quite at home and given I’ve walked everywhere during my stay here, probably know the streets better than I do in San Francisco where I grew up! And the time here has done wonders for my french…I’ve come a long way from my first blog (where I ordered in French and the waiter answered me in English). At each of the stores that I wandered into I had extensive conversations in French with the owner, and each one of them complemented me on my accent and are surprised that a California girl can speak their language so well.

Les Fontaines de la Rue Commune: the park that I’ve enjoyed reading at writing at the past few nights.
