Bonjour, Montreal!

Taken from: BRFC

Sorry I've been MIA for the passed few weeks.  This school year has been hella busy and I honestly can barely find the time think and breathe for a moment (I was taking 7 classes and 6 of them had something due in one week, for example).  But I am back to blogging (I hope)!  During a long weekend we had at school, instead of going back to my first love, New York City, I went to a new place: Montreal, Quebec.  For some completely, previously uninformed reason, I had been a lover of all things Canadian (except for Beiber and Nickleback, but we can ignore those), so I was majorly excited to see everything that Montreal had to offer me for three days.

The weather was a factor that my friends and I completely forgot to prepare for.  I just brought clothes that worked for me during the mild fall temperatures of Ithaca, NY, not realizing that Canada had actually been located some...oh, I don't know...4 to 5 hours North-ward.  As you can imagine, this caused problems.  But I still managed to layer and dress adorably while eating some of the best food ever.

The first night, I did not take an outfit photo, but we went to this lovely sushi place called Ginger.  We found it completely by accident, too, which was fine, considering everything was amazing.

Our lovely sushi plate.

Lychee sour.  Best cocktail ever.

Given the fact that all we did was explore the neighborhood we stayed in.  For dessert, we found this beautiful pastry shop called Juliette + Chocolat, which had the best brownies ever.  Has a brownie ever melted in your lips like chocolate does?  Nope, not until you've had these.  They also had a gluten-free option, which made my heart sing.

Mine is the one closest to the front.  But it was so good!

The breakfast I got here two days later.  Peanut butter, banana, milk chocolate on a gluten-free crepe with a double espresso machiatto.

For clothing, I wore a leather vest from H&M, a white shirt with a blue cat on it with the words "Casse Toi" from Urban Outfitters, BDG black skinnies, Minnetonka moccasins, and my grey snood. Sorry for the lack of pictures, but after 7 hours of traveling, taking pics is the last thing you want to do.

And since this entry is so long and involved, I will write it in installments.  Part two (day two) will come out sometime before Friday (maybe even ON Friday, who knows).

Keep it yummy,
Jo
