this busker plays guitar and sings incredible opera. like, he has the best opera voice I have ever heard up close. it is so fun and surprising as it echos through the station. the advertisement to his right is for milk, with the same muppet character that was sitting on top of the bus station the other day...

stacked doggies. it was hard to capture since they were on my chair, behind me. on days that Joey and I are home studying and working, they want to be near me constantly, both of them. they have to sit in my chair or on my lap. usually that means sitting in bed, because it is the easiest way to fit them both by me. however, this time, winston was in the chair behind me and pepinot begged to come on my lap. I wasn't giving him much support so he moved behind me... on top of winston... they sat like that for a few minutes, until winston finally whined and got up. now they are just right next to each other, and I have less room to sit...

Verdun, QC, Canada.

soaring through the cotton candy clouds while it rains below... not so bad.

ME or QC, in the sky.


I love well styled restaurants. this one was called bourbon quartier and it was soo cute. I was the only customer, I actually came in a half hour before they started serving but they made me food immediately :) very good service when you're the only one! I love when I have enough time in a city to get to know it a little.

Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada.


if I had lots of money I would buy a house just like this. it would have to be lots because I would also need to redo the inside :) the street this house was on, was full of houses just like these. so lovely!

the top of a bus shelter. gotta love creative advertising, but let's be honest: that doesn't make you want to drink milk. and that is what he is advertising... milk.

surprise!! my eyes, day two after LASIK eye surgery. those red bits are broken blood vessels. it is actually kind of nice to be able to see some result because otherwise, visually, you can't tell anything was done. I guess it is a battle scar mentality :) my eyelashes are wet from the constant eyedrops.

Verdun, QC, Canada.


post surgery sunglasses - I had to wear these the first 24 hours and then everytime I go outside for a week. I don't mind, they're really comfortable! I took this picture waiting for joey to get some groceries from the store.
