Would She Say Yes?

 

He knelt in front of her, his heart lay open to the world on top of Mount Royal today. He held his breath as he clutched the glistening diamond hidden inside the dark velvet box. He didn't flinch. It was her sobs that brought our attention to them. Would she say yes? She didn't answer ... Just another ordinary day as a tourist in Montreal.
The day began at L'Avenue for brunch where we discussed the idea and integrity of the wires holding a motorcycle above the patrons at the next table and, of course, the artistic merit of having a black-lit, mural painted toilet.


Easy Rider just dropped in for brunch (Notice - finally a bit of motorcycle content!)

Very unusual bathroom (so I was warned ahead of time that I might like to have my camera with me in the bathroom!)

 

In the hands of very capable tour guides (a native and an ex-pat) it was off to experience the sights and sounds of Old Montreal.


  Olympic Stadium from another angle today

 Jean-Talon Market

Notre-Dame Basilica 

 Place Jacques Cartier

  Bonsecour Market from the Old Port side

Discrete entrance to 'Garde Manger' (Chuck Hughes, Chuck's Day Off - Food Network.)
And so the day ended ... filled with great company, good food, wonderful sights and only two near misses or rather 'too close for comfort,' close calls involving Montreal traffic.

And by the way ... from across the lawn, I knew she said, "Yes."

True (Love) Story!
