Enjoying Downtown
Well, this morning it seemed like it was going to be a rainy boring day. I was kind of gloomy because I had to go alone downtown for my blood tests... it was windy and dark, but I didn't change my mind and took the metro. Then it turned to be a more than OK day... I didn't care about waiting for an hour to get my blood samples taken, I just sat there and watched people and had a good time looking at how nice the man on the Information desk was :) He sure brightened up my day with his nice way to treat people... and he even spoke Spanish to someone!! When he said "Buenos d�as, c�mo est�?" I was happy and just smiled to him (I didn't say I spoke Spanish too, though...)
After the hospital I decided to go for a walk in Montr�al; it didn't really matter it was raining... I took my umbrella and covered myself and had fun! Took the metro again and ended up walking on Ste. Catherine Street, stopped for a cup of coffee and something to eat at La Brul�rie St. Denis and then headed for Chapters and spoiled myself with the two books I wanted: The Hundred Secret Senses (by Amy Tan) and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (by J.K. Rowling... everybody knows that!). If I had more money I think I would've bought another book... I'm a book addict!
After my Chapters adventure, I just walked around the stores and did some window shopping... lol! Oh well, I bought a roll film for Monday because we're going with some friends to La Cabane � Sucre (Maple Syrup factory... or how do you call that in English?). After all this, of course I was tired, so just took the metro and went to the train station, bought pastries for hubby and came home :)
After all... life is not that bad! it's rainy, cloudy and dark, but I feel good!
