I have been a city gal for the past few days. 3 in Montreal mostly enjoying the quaint residential steets but also visiting the main tourist sights like the Mont Real that overlooks the downtown area and the olympic park and botanic gardens. Also enjoyed the farmers market and have since been doing the same in Ottawa - farmers market and the beautiful government buildings that look like fairytale castles. I'm quite taken with the locks on the canal here which is adding to my desire to learn to sail a boat. Last night I went to a sound and light show at the parliament building which was very much a "look at me - I'm Canadian and we're the best" display but had some trippy effects like the windows of the building seeming to pop out in 3D and change colour then turn into wild animals and stuff like that.
