One of these days we might see something besides movies...

Okay, so we've left Outremont and returned to our hostel now that the Jazz festival is winding down and there are rooms available in the city. We had a wonderful two days staying with Andrea's friend Julia and her mother Jocelyn who were both nothing but lovely and generous. We were treated to delicious (and nutricious) breakfasts both days which were much needed after nearly a week of pizza and falafels. Although the eats are generally very good here in Montreal we haven't been able to get out of the Downtown core much and as a result have had to choose between pricy and crap. We did manage to find an excellently priced Indian buffet last night which was such an amazing coup (all you can eat for $12!!!!) and since it was in the tourist district nothing was too spicy of weird. Certainly not as good as anything on Main St, but just what we needed last night.

Caught three movies yesterday (Godzilla, Ginger Snaps III: The beginning (aka Ginger Snaps Back) and Dead and Breakfast. Good thing we saw "Dead and Breakfast" as a midnight show 'cause we probably would have hated it otherwise. Film Threat has already posted my reviews of Wonderful Days and 8th Diagram Pole Fighter if you were interested.

Anyhoo, that's the quick update. More later after we get settled back at the Auberge.
