Fall

October 20 2013

Well it has been all about the food but today I finally felt a connection with Montreal. It wasn’t as though I disliked it but just didn’t have that ‘oh I love it’ like I do in many places I visit. I think it was because I couldn’t figure out where the city was, what it actually looked like, couldn’t figure out the industrial city beside the beauty of Old Montreal. Today we climbed and climbed and climbed. Mont Royal sits between the Laurentians and the Appalachians. The meaning of Fall was right in front of us. The amazing colors of the trees – the red, orange and yellow. Standing looking down on Montreal – ah I finally understand this city.
