Last week I was in Montreal for work. This was my first trip to Montreal, and I enjoyed it. I didn't get to see that much because most of my time was taken up with work meetings, but I did enjoy a delicious dinner at Restaurant La Raclette on my birthday with my new work colleagues. It was a four course meal and for my main course I tried la raclette. This involves a contraption that reminded me of an Easy Bake Oven, and a small square pan that is filled with cheese and then slid into the oven. Once the cheese is melted, it is eaten with potatoes or cured meats. Incredibly rich, and I was provided with a ridiculous amount of cheese. It was yummy, though, and fun to try something different.
I am happy to report that I have found one yoga studio that I really like, Hot Yoga on 17th. RTC's sister K and I have gone several times and all the classes have been great. The downside is that it is farther away than I'd like, so it will probably be the studio of choice on the weekends. I will continue to look for something closer to the apartment or to my office so that I can fit in a couple more classes during the week.
We are slowly accumulating more items for the apartment, but mostly small stuff. I purchased a cheese grater over the weekend. Exciting stuff. However, the biggest purchase thus far has been a new bed! The first month in the apartment we slept on a full sized bed. This became uncomfortable the second night. Our original plan was to purchase a new mattress in the US and bring it with us when we move the rest of my belongings, but fortunately we found a good deal here. Fortunate because RTC was considering wearing protective gear to bed since I kept hitting him in the middle of the night (not on purpose, I promise!). So here it is, with its first satisfied customer!
