Spring is almost here and I've decided that it's time to get back out and start dating Montreal again. Since Forest and I will be moving to Minneapolis in early August I've decided to make a list of all of the places and things that I want to do before we leave and I will write about them along the way. For all of my friends who live here please let me know if there is something I need to add to my list or if you want to join me.

And most importantly... spending time with all of my friends; knitting, talking, eating (lots of baguette) and living.
If the weather is nice this Sunday, you should come here. We can start off with poutine at La Belle Province (there's one near here, I think). If Forest can make it here, then he can lie on a blanket and we can listen to the tam-tams and then go on a picnic by Beaver Lake. That would hit three on your list. And then we can discuss which Margaret Atwood book we want to read. (I've read a lot of her books already). Let's get through these 35. If there's time left over, then I'll suggest other things in my neighborhood you should try before you leave. Or when you come back. :_
ReplyDeleteWhich one of these is "hang out with naked old guys on the beach"? I can't wait to hear that story! =)
