Departure day...

Train to Toronto departs in about an hour (had to come early to check frighteningly heavy cases...tried to look unconcerned and NOT at the scales, but all was hunky-dory - phew), so taking advantage of statioon wi-fi - thank you, Via Rail!

I'm leaving such a special city, but feel so good about what's ahead of me. I took a reflective stroll Sunday and noted the following typical Montreal scenes:

1) - Massive hole in road with no discernible signage nor road workers nearby
2) - Substantial lineups outside popular Plateau eateries such as l'Avenue, but no-one visibly concerned by waiting
3) - Hardcover book on the naked male form prominently displayed in local newsagency.

Memories of and experiences in a place accumulate internally, serving to colour how everything that comes after is viewed. It's been a challenging, delightful, defining time; thank you Montreal and all those who were part of those memories and experiences. xx
