A Room with a View

Reesie's coping skillsWe are spending our last few days in Canada in Montreal visiting Laurent's parents, family and a few old friends. Its been a confusing few days for Reesie - three homes in one week but he does have a proven way to cope! Maybe I should learn from him - there's been a few times this week when I would have loved to put my head in the sand and make the world go away.

We staying at the Omni Mount Royal - when it opened for the Olympics in 1976 it was Four Seasons and Laurent's father was the manager. The doorman recognized Laurent almost immediately - he really does look like his father. We have a nice room on the 28th floor with a great view of the McGill University ghetto and the Mountain and they accept pets. This was the area Bundnie, Reesie and I lived in, of and on, for five years back in the late '90s.

Towards the Reservoir
Our old apartment buildingI was going to try and post more photos but time is running out - we have to get to the airport with six suitcases, 1 kennel, 2 computers, 2 briefcases and, most important, one dog for the the next chapter in our big move. Only 4 hours left before take-off. Arrivederci!
