My First Post

Well, I finally decided to jump on the blog wagon.  Forest and I made it here safely. Our place is very nice and spacious and the cats are pretty fun.  Montreal is a nice city and there are lots of different neighborhoods to explore.  Forest started at McGill and is learning a lot while I on the other hand am unemployed.  I still have no friends but have started friend-dating.  So far I have made it two days now without crying.  We really miss all of our friends and family and would love to have visitors (hint hint).  I feel like I am selling the city a little short so I am going to write about all of the fun things we have been doing.  We have been exploring some of the neighborhoods especially Old Montreal which is beautiful.  There are cobblestone streets, a variety of restaurants and cool buildings.  We have been to park Mont Royal and walked up the "mountain" several times.  Yesterday we went out of the city to Oka Park and walked along the beach for about two hours, let's just say we are not in Iowa anymore. We have been exploring our neighborhood, Notre Dame de Grace, and found some great restaurants and shops.  The grocery shopping in Montreal is amazing, especially the markets!    Forest likes the coffee shops.  We took a trip to the botanical gardens with our parents and they were cool as well.  I am still not sure what I am supposed to write about on a blog so I guess this is all there is for now.
