Autoroute 20 Ouest

la maison Simon's, you're my new favorite.
Not by a little. By a lot.

Simon's is Quebec's department store. Its wonderful
and amazing! So many sales! So much selection!
Thousands of square feet of bright colours, crazy patterns
and funky, chunky jewellery. And the best part?
the SOLDES sign splaying itself across the window.
(pardon my french - but that's SALE in english)
Is there a better word?

So. Funny story. I was waiting for Ashley to finish her interview.
Trying not to stray too far, or to go to too many places without her, I
am wandering.
And from a distance, I see this red, square sign, with the Omega symbol.
I thought that was kind of funny, because theres one just around the corner.
But we're not in the Maritimes, so Lulu is like Tim's; one on every corner.
So I cruise down, already laden with some bags (and it was REALLY hot by now)
As I get closer, I realize the sign isn't a Lulu store, but a Sushi place ....
I actually laughed out loud. Because here I was, walking so purposefully and
I literally stopped in my tracks and laughed.
Then took a picture.

The only picture of Ash and I on the trip.

I really should take a little more pride in myself.
Why didn't someone tell me I looked like this??
Anyway, its the only postable picture of San and I!

This amazing, eclectic restaurant on St. Catherines.
Called eggspectation. Huge breakfast for $10.

No Ashley, you don't add the two
to get your speed. It doesn't work that way.

Traffic Jam. Or just regular Montreal rush hour traffic.
We were spectacles!! People talking to us from
other cars saying stuff like " I bet you don't see
traffic like this in Halifax."

As I sat in a Starbucks waiting for the shops to open,
this was my view.
This poor truck just inched his way through that intersection.

Ahhhhh..... St. Catherines.

Something you'll never hear a Cape Bretoner say ...
