We take off early morning. It’s a long drive, but time has a way of flying when there is a CD of Kishore Kumar & Mohammed Rafi, belting out all the popular numbers, hand picked by Anwer for that special someone from his school/college days!!!! Hummmmm
Noori & I, shall figure that out soon enough. And then there are loads of gupshup that flows between us & the kids , with stops for Coffee & lunch at Pizza Hut, where , Osman, Rayan, Noori & Rita, try their hand at coloring …. Trying to outdo one another …. We still haven’t figured out, who was the best!!!!;-)
Anwer has booked us at a place called Saint Sulpice, which is at Old Montreal. The hotel is nice and Old Montreal…. Stunning!!!
We take off for a walk by the river side, at the Old Port area, with its marvelous architecture of Grey Stone buildings. Spent time watching the boats, jet ski’s , performance of the dragon dance. Walk across the defunct railway track, the gardens. Next is, Place Jacques-Cartier, where there are so many street performances & the place is lined on both sides with various Café’s & restaurant’s. This Square is brimming with Vive la Joie!!! With Anwer ready to throw me in the water, so that I can be rescued by a good looking chap, who has the best boat on this river….. free fund main ride for all of us!!!:-)
Off for dinner at a place called Dev, run by a Sikh family. Place is set to look like a complete Dhabba & food so desi, thought I was in one of the Dhabba’s enroute from Delhi to Kashipur!!!
Highlight…Beauty was when we asked for spicy gravy, the Lady got the gravy separate, coz the kids would not be able to eat spicy………… Trust an Indian Mother to think like this ……. It only happens in India!!!!
Too Too funny …. When we check into the hotel, we are given the most sort after room in the entire hotel & considering We the Dalians are checking in, they have to give us the Best….. the Room No. is ……….. 420 !!!! LOL……
