John Candy would've been proud
It was a trip of planes, trains and automobiles.
I travelled to Ottawa and Montreal last week on some official business: a job interview, a royal Air Canada f*%k up, an oka cheese pilgrimmage (thanks Holland!), and of course eating/drinking/dancing with old friends and new. I shared lunch with two friends-of-friends in Ottawa. It was a bit like going on a blind date but super fun nonetheless. Local knowledge and POV is much better than a guide book. I'll put up a more detailed post later. But for now some photos...
The only flowers in Ottawa come March: the floor of the Chateau Laurier ball room.
A Montreal institution in the heart of downtown Ottawa. I clocked into the bilingual part of the country at 4:42 hours before I was chowing on smoked meat, kosher pickes and coleslaw. A record for sure.
St. Paddy's Day in Montreal: 10:30am before the epic 'dig the car out of the snow bank' game.
J'aime le metro avec l'arts de 1960s.
This ramp at the Ottawa train station reminded me ever so slightly of the Guggenheim.
