Montreal!

So I kind of came up to Montreal yesterday without a plan, other than to sit somewhere pretty and grind through a bunch of wedding editing I'm desperately trying to stay on top of. (I'm in the middle of like 10 straight weekends of weddings. Which is superyay for my wallet, but not superyay for my wrists and eyes and fingers which do all the clicking and squinting and editing.)

So I was about to hit the border...and then it dawned on me that I had done zero research on what to see or eat or do...so I posted on Facebook and got a ton of amazing recommendations. Social media at its finest.

Within minutes of arriving in town, I was on my way to Olive + Gourmando, this funky little gourmet pastry/sandwich place that at least 4 people told me I HAD to check out.

I had the BEST Cuban sandwich I've ever had in my life. Seriously considering going back for another tomorrow.

Then I also went to another recommendation: Schwartz's.

For their signature Smoked Meat Sandwich. YUM.

I drove around the city a little...it's really really pretty.

The old port is pretty awesome.

And there's this housing project thingy Megoon recommended I check out called Habitat 67 or something. It's a bunch of concrete block apts. So very cool...

Anyway. I'm limiting my daily sightseeing to an hour by car.

 

So I went back to my hotel to do work by the pool. I'm so lame. Whatever. It's probably better than sitting in a yucky office all day.

And it's nice because in Canada my cell phone isn't working so annoying headshot clients and potential new clients can't call to ask me for answers to stupid questions that are all readily available on my website.

Oh also I had Poutine for dinner. And I'm still trying to decide if it was totally delicious or totally disgusting.
