Well, I'm back from Montreal. It was a long quick trip. I got there on Sunday around 6:00 pm, so I was able to meet up with everyone for dinner. During the week, I ate at so many good restaurants - Italian, French, Sushi, Greek, and even American. I haven't drank this much in a long time. But, it's hard to pass up a good glass of wine with dinner when it's free - or it will be after my expense reimbursement. I also had to try their specialty beers - I find it important to partake of many parts of the culture.
We worked so much. We met at 7 a.m., worked from 7:45 - 7:30 pm every day. We ate dinner at 8, and because everything there takes forever and is extremely slow, we wouldn't be done until 10. It was hard to do anything because everything was closed. I did go out to a couple of bars one night. We ran into a VP on the street, and so that was pretty interesting. The city is beautiful though. It has great culture, art, archticture, beauty - tulips galore!, and great character. I am so beat. It's hard to be "on" for that long. Everyone was starting to get a little more casual with our conversations as the week progressed. I never thought I would hear a director or above talk as much as crap as I did this week, but it's good to know that they are not ignorant to it all. I can't wait to go to Amadeo tomorrow. It's been a long time, and I just want to be there.
