Oui, c'est Montréal


We had a wonderful time in Montréal. I believe this is Maisonneuve, I love his hat. On Saturday we left the hotel at 10:30 a.m. and stopped shopping at 8:30 p.m. Incroyable! We managed to be at lunch during the one rain shower. We are already making plans for many return trips! We just need to find where the Montréalers are hiding their funky shoe stores. All we saw was Aldo, Aldo and more Aldo... Dinner and drinks at Newtown was fun; a great place for people watching on Rue Crescent (make sure you bring your credit card though...) We will all remember the extremely frazzled young man at Zara, I believe the only man working there, amongst a frenzy of women shopping for deals, who, at the sight of a stray pair of shoes on the floor, sighed deeply and said "Ahhh, mon Dieu!!!" as if the weight of the world were on his shoulders. I think Cathy is still laughing.

There are a couple of shoe stores in Place Ville Marie that aren't Aldo. As a matter of fact, there's no Aldo, just Brown's. They're out there somewhere!

I will ask my very chic friend, Sylvie, who is our Montreal rep, where the chic "Euro" type Quebecers go for shoes (the only people who really count, according to Sylvie).
