We were to be in Montreal for twelve days because we came to attend the jazz festival which runs for eleven days. When I gazed at the street of our hotel I thought “Oh no, more drab grey and dirty beige anonymous office towers”. The weather was also against us.

RP was born a long time ago and was much loved by her family. When she had finished schooling, she travelled to the land of her ancestors, Italy, and fell in love.

She spent a year in that land and then went back to Oz where she started working. Eventually she married and had three children.

We really enjoyed the old city but were very disappointed by what has happened to the Olympic venue. We were only there for a couple of days. Really enjoyed reading your blog.

Vicarious travel
I have to be disciplined when I read your blogs. I just want to travel everywhere you describe! It's a privilege for those of us lucky enough to have the funds and time to do what you're doing. Keep enjoying it and sharing it!

Thanks John
Mind you, I don't put in the boring stuff or M and I squabbling over petty things ? And as to the privilege of being able to do this - I am conscious that this has been a ridiculously indulgent thing to do. I don't quite know why this should be my reality now (it wasn't always...) but I am here for the ride despite the creaking bones and expanding waistline (why are there so many pastries in this world??). Thanks for your kind words xx
