WOW so busy and so burnt out! Excited to come home on Sunday night. I have lots of stuff I would like to write about so I thought a revelations format would work well so I can share some tidbits.
Neil’s Revelations:
- AC Jazz is less an airline and more of a bus with wings
- When presenting to a room full of a French speaking audience and you switch to Spanish by accident they do notice
- There is zero probability of looking even remotely hot when you wake up after a two hour flight on a propeller plane with your face smushed against the window
- Even the nicest of cab drivers can turn rank on you when you reach your destination
- In cab speak “Just around the corner” means “Speed up and slam on the brakes after my stop so my laptop flies into the front seat please”
- The Latin Quarter of Montreal is just North of the Gay Village, it is very alive at night with happy people, and beautiful hopping outdoor patio restuarants
- La Saint-Sulpice is the largest Terrasse in Montreal (Place to drink outdoors). It is very fun to have drinks with friends in a large setting
- I still prefer the Terrasse named Sky Terrasse in the village because it is on a roof top and has a better feel
- If the McDonald’s cashier has to walk you to the bathroom and let you in personally with a key…. This is most likely not a bathroom you will enjoy using
- Montreal has enough demand to support four male strip clubs! However of those four, two are kinda seedy. I suggest you check out “Campus” if you are in the mood. On a Thursday night it was busy and had a steady stream of entertainment.
- It is a small world and it just keeps getting smaller. We ran into some people from France that my friend knew. I also ran into someone I met in Edmonton who is here for vacation
- If you are traveling and have the urge to buy a large glass fish bowl… Don’t…. you will end up with buyer’s remorse quite quickly and return it later that week
- Crepes can be eaten for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and late night snack
Well I think that brings us basically current. Tonight I am headed out to Stereo Bar where my friend’s are hosting the same Techno radio show that I attended last Friday at their house. I am dead tired but I am really looking forward to it!
Neil!
I miss you, hurry home

AC Jazz is the most ridiculous sounding airline I have ever heard of – love it. Your description also just reminds me of the ‘magic school bus.’
