postcard

[boxofdelights]

I got a postcard from seascribe today! It is from Montreal, a view of the Old Port and downtown, from her recent trip to Canada. I think the fall colors in the background must be the Mont Royal Park, but I am not familiar enough with Montreal to identify images. Mungo says his dorm backs up to Mont Royal. The house feels empty, emptier and stranger than I had thought. I don't know how to shop! I buy delicious foods and three days later they are still here! Mungo and I were in Montreal for only a short time last fall, and ate many delicious foods but not poutine. According to Ray Kowalski, in this epistolary fic which is also from scribe and seascribe's trip to Canada, that was a mistake.

I am still attempting to post every day in September, even though my first day spilled over into the second. I thought I had lots of ideas but I keep blanking. Got any suggestions?

Poutine is wonderful heart-attack food. The part of New Hampshire I live in is close enough to the Canadian border that it's in what you might call the Poutine Zone -- go another two small towns south along Route 3, and you're out of it -- so I don't have to go to Montreal to get my fix.

Montreal is full of wonderful food, though; if you haven't been already, next time you're there check out Juliette et Chocolat. They specialize in hot chocolate, but not as Nestle's Instant or Swiss Miss know it.

Juliette et Chocolat is amazing. I've only been to Montreal a few times, but was fortunate enough to discover it on my very first visit.
