Flight++
I got up at 6am and groaned into the darkness. I didn't want to get on the plane, nevermind get out of bed. But I had no choice, and so, an hour later, I'm at the YVR airport, then on the 8am flight to Calgary. I got delayed at Calgary for about an hour and a half, due to bad weather conditions and they sprayed this green and yellow neon stuff all over the wing of the plane- I was watching right above the wing, and some got on my window too.
(p.s. a donut at Tim Horton's in Calgary costs just 89cents instead of exactly 1$ (89cents plus tax) like it is in Montreal!)I was so surprised when I got change back for the 1$. It was my first time in Calgary too- and I saw snow for the first time after leaving Montreal!
Back in the Mtl airport, I was in a state of confusion trying to find the bus stop for bus 204/209 that will take me to the Gare Dorval, where I would embark on bus 211/221 which would take me directly to the Lionel-Groulx metro station. I made it, after waiting a damn long time in the cold (it felt like), and dragging my twice-as-heavy suitcases (yes, I left with only one piece of luggage) down the snow-covered walk down to my rez. Standing there so resolutely in the dark, and at its feet lay robes of white. I stepped into the darkness of my apartment, and was ambushed by a mob. Haha. It was quite a happy mob, though.
And in the weeks since I got back, I've gone to two potlucks, watched Sherlocke Holmes at the theatres (after Avatar sold out, illustrated by the masses of people packed like sheep in the line-up), and had some yummy things to eat.
I tried another two exotic fruits: omberella (brought back from Sri Lanka), and mangosteens (yum!!!)
On the tea front, I had some nice Ketepa Black Tea from Kenya- apparently the largest exporter of black tea in the world?
