It may be late April, but you wouldn't know it some days. The wind seems particularly bitter this year. I had to go into the closet where I thought I could give my winter gear a well-deserved rest, but alas...the fickle Montreal weather had other ideas. The worst is when it looks sunny outside and that tricks you into thinking it's warm. As soon as you step outside...BAM! I should have worn a thicker coat. Luckily, there's pretty much nothing cozier than my faux fur infinity scarf, picked up in Hong Kong for a song. I'd hate to say it, but I'm getting really tired of my boots and wool coats. Worse than waiting for Christmas or the last day of school...is waiting for spring! Truly, it is a test of sheer will and endurance. The marathon of marathons. We keep rounding the corner expecting to see the finish line...could the next corner be it? Here's hoping!
                                                                      

Spring Chicks

Montreal is known for having a split-weather personality (only two weeks earlier, we were still braving the snow!) At long last out of hibernation, we dusted off our wedges and espadrilles and headed for the Old Port.

"In Montreal spring is like an autopsy. 
Everyone wants to see the inside
of the frozen mammoth. Girls rip off their sleeves 
and the flesh is sweet and white, 
like wood under green bark. From the streets
a sexual manifesto rises like an inflating tired,
'the winter has not killed us again!'"

- Leonard Cohen (Beautiful Losers)
