Week 7 - A Work Week...



Finishing Woodblocks

This week was so relaxing.  We each got a lot of work done.  I finished my woodblocks and John worked on his "Ethics of Care" section for CSUMB. Groceries at the big Metro on Mount Royal was another housekeeping chore for the week.  Wowie, zowie (we are really easily entertained.)

Ethics of Care...

The weather this week was hot & humid, pleasant and rainy, breezy and hot, lightening and rain.  A variety of weather, so a good week for working on inside projects and going to the gym or to the pool.







Fireworks on two nights this week - Wednesday, Italy; Saturday, Australia.

Our big excursion for week was to see the National Library on Berri for a library card, underground shopping malls for our health supplements, and walk up University Ave. to find McGill Stadium for Allouette tickets for Friday nite.

Then on Friday nite, the Allouette game. Not only do we get to watch the Allouettes beat the Argonaughts, we see just retired Ben Cahoon, popular and great receiver, get honored.  Anthony Calvillo breaks touchdown pass record on first touchdown of the evening – 395 career touchdown passes, breaking the all time record of Damien Allen, San Diego son and brother of Marcus. A fun evening in the cheap seats in the end zone, on a balmy Montreal evening, eating hot dogs and Molson beer (in Molson Stadium, what else would be sold?)

We end the week with French class on Saturday morning, washing clothes and grocery shopping. 

On Sunday, after the FIFA World Cup match where Japan beat the USA, we celebrated by taking the bus and metro to the Jean Talon Farmer’s Market.  We got there a little late so we didn't get the full feel for the market, we will have go back.  Still in a celebratory mood we stop in a bistro by the market for beers, a hot dog for John and poutine for me.

Sunday evening, I pack and get ready for NYC, NY, leaving John behind to concentrateon his writing and research.

Next week: the train trip on the Amtrak Adirondack and NYC!
