as briefly touched on earlier, cindy came for the weekend. she has a fish name, but i'm not comfortable with it, so we're gonna stick to her real name for now (sorry cindy - please take no offense). anyway, cindy and i did pretty much the "quintessential montreal" in a mere three days: friday, saturday, and sunday. yes, this past weekend! as put by cindy more eloquently than i could ever dream of mustering, montreal is all about lazing, this notion of not necessarily being "lazy" in the way we know it but rather focuses on soaking in the city. One can do this by lounging on "terrasses" to people-watch more than food-eat, falling asleep in parcs while listening to local hipsters strum their renditions of radiohead, or merely walking (or biking) through the city at an incredibly slow speed with no focus on an actual destination.
