La Fin
...wowsers, can't believe 4 months has already come to an end. this has definitely been my best co-op term, and my last one too. it's nice to end it this way.
so my last weekend in Montreal, has been a wrap up of things i haven't done yet. climbed Mont Royal (highest mountain on the island) and man alive the view was just AMAZING. like...you could see practically the whole island from the various vantage points. very romantic. very tiring. watched the Tam Tams play (at the bottom of the mountain...people gather together every sunday, weather permitting, to smoke weed, play drums, dance, sell merchandises, and plain out chill). I also participated in a "medieval" fight...where people would dress up and kick each other's behind with foam swords, spears, shields, and armours. it was great times. i picked a two-handed sword (i kid you not...it was almost my height...went up to about my chin) and gg-owned my friends. haha. i felt like Cloud from FF7. minus the Tifa.
anywho, we also went to Eggspectations...and it exceeded all my EGGspectations of the place. I ordered a Pagé fruit juice (Strawberry, banana, blueberry, kiwi, melon, honeydew, mango, papaya, pineapple blended with fresh orange juice) and an Eggspectation™ (Three egg omelette, with mushrooms, onions, green and red peppers, bacon, sausage, ham…. served with grilled potatoes and chef’s fruit garnish. And with a lot of love.♥) with extra love on the side. the waiter wouldn't gimme the love on the side...rather...it would be distributed evenly throughout my meal instead. man alive was the meal loverly. the juice probably made my day.
then we walked some more and went to Montreal's most famous ice cream parlor (can't recall the name..something B...something french...), and wow...there was like a perpetual line-up. people would just keep comin' and linin' up...and you know a place is good when the line-ups never stop. i got me a pistachio ice cream (with REAL whole pistachio nuts in it!) and a pear sorbet (made with real pears...it's like if you were eating one). SOOOOOOOOO good. if gg had a flavour...this ice cream place would have it.
i'm sad to leave this great city...great company...great friends. but alas...that is life...and as this chapter closes...another opens. can't wait to see what's next!
