Today Diane and I headed up to Montreal with Deb. Hannah and Olivier’s apartment was free… (they just moved to France !).. so we went up to do some  non-shopping.
I was trying to figure out when the last time I was up in Montreal.. I cant think of a time I’ve been up there since the pandemic… is that possible ?!?!  

The drive up was fun.. I enjoyed being a passenger as Deb drove

We were lucky enough to get early dinner reservations at Sushi  Momo  <\/a>a vegan (!!!) sushi place on St Denis in Downtown. Diane and Deb had been there before and both raved about it.. It was incredible. All threee of us at the Prix Fixe mmenu.. whcih included 16 pieces of chef’s choice vegan sushi.. that allowed such a veriety of stuff. THe tastes and textures we’re amazing.. marinated root vegies became salom shashimi.. seaweed pods became fish roe.  I’m not a big fan of ‘fake meet’ for the sake of people who are missing meet.. but there was nothing fake abotu this.

We were done with dinner by 6.. so we headed out for anotuer walk around the city on the way back to the aapartment.. It was about 3 degrees F ( -16 C) so we walked quickly to keep warm. We went down to Old Montreal then followed the river back towards Griffentown .. The city was beautifully lit..
