Montreal
I went to Montreal and was reminded of the concept and lifestyle that is "Joie de Vivre"
I intend to get back to that. I'm assuming for the next three months you will hear me singing in french, listening to french music (old and new pop). And fashion! I feel like i need to revamp my entire wardrobe. If I could I would have stolen all the clothes from every Montreal girl I saw. They are so fashionable. Here is a guide to dressing like a Parisian girl from the summer to fall transition:

All the men in Montreal were SO SEXY. Totally my type: tall, dark, handsome, with scruff on their face. Messed up hair, chucks and plaid or t-shirts. Soooo flipping hot. I wanted to take them all on a bus and import them to DC for a year so I could date them all.
I ate my way through the city. This included foie gras (twice), calf's liver, shwartz smoked meat w/ pickle and cherry coke, lobster ravioli, poutine, chocolate croissants every morning with a large latte, LOTS of beer, a bison burger, macaroons, custard tarts, gelato and the list goes ON AND ON.
I feel the need for a juice cleanse.
My take aways from this trip are:

My take aways from this trip are:
- live with Joie de Vivre
- dress in a more Montreal/Parisian/Hipster style
- listen to more French music
- live along with the flow of life
- eat whatever i want, just not in excess - carbs aren't bad. nor is butter.

Joie de vivre!
On Tuesday night I walked to a bar (my favorite so far) to meet a Canadian Man Whore (CMW). This was playing in my ears, I passed the colorful row houses drenched with hydrangeas on their doorsteps, and the bars and shops were buzzing. Against my skin i felt just-the-right-amount-of-warm summer night air breeze by. And all was right in the world!
