My hands are kind of frozen now.
Ah, les temps sont durs, faut faire des économies partout. Mais bon, le train non-chauffé le matin alors qu’il fait 0°C dehors, je trouve que c’est un peu limite de la part de la SNCF. D’habitude on se croirait dans … Continue reading
Et c’est la fin!
All good things must come to an end and this is the final entry on Canada (up until I finish the Diana Mini roll and get it developed). About 140 double photos later, that’s it! Starting tomorrow there will be … Continue reading
Un festival, des festivaux?
My last night in Montreal I caught the start of the Festival des Films du Monde and the first outdoor screening. The film was Que la fête commence… from 1975, a proper French film d’époque, with Philippe Noiret and the … Continue reading

Sonic… can you beat him?
Ah. Montreal. I pretty much know the city center by heart now, the same for the old port, the walks along the river, Saint Urbain and Saint Laurent and to some extent Saint Denis. I had some major revelations to … Continue reading
Lac des castors
To the west of Mont Royal there is Lac des Castors but there weren’t any castors in it. Very disappointing. There were lots of ducks and fishes and children feeding those ducks and fishes. Judging by the signs close to … Continue reading
Mont Royal and down the Oregon Trail
Yesterday I went up to Mont Royal. On paper it was a great idea but perhaps going there after already walking all the way from the city center to go get the Fairmount bagels was not so great. I wish … Continue reading
