Beautiful piece Rosana. Montreal is my Paris, I think. I so want to get back there.

This reminded me of a line from “Contact”:

Alien: You're an interesting species. An interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone, only you're not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable, is each other.

Thanks! That's a great quote. I don't think I ever saw that movie!

It's one of my favorite movies of all time. Jodie Foster at the height of her powers. Highly recommended.

Paris is definitely one of my favorite cities in the world. It's a combination of the history, the people, the culture, and the love of food and wine! When my wife and I would go, we would have a "big" and a "small" event planned for each day. Big events were museums, tours, and such. A small event might be "let's sit down in a cafe in the afternoon and have a glass of wine and watch people walk by." Somehow that just seems like a perfectly normal thing to be doing in Paris.

That sounds wonderful! I haven't been for so very long. Maybe we need a Uni reunion there! ;-)
