I leave tomorrow for my 2016 Shirleyfest in Montreal. The packing is all done, the reservations are made and the research is done, and now I get to just think about how I want to enjoy this month. I have already connected with several locals and have been invited to dinner at their homes and to a French play. I have reserved my bike for the month thru Bixi and I’ll get my Opus card which is a month long metro pass when I arrive. Apparently my apartment is above a coffee house so that will be nice to wake up and smell each day.

I invite you to follow me on this journey and see where it goes.

À plus tard, Je vous verrai au Canada!
