When I was in high school I wrote an article for the school paper called "History class, who needs it?!" hoping to attract students who hated history class, only to teach them that the events of our world help us to know how to deal with events of the present and future. My history teacher initially scowled at the title, then smiled upon reading it and thanked me for my student perspective. As an adult, I realize now more than ever how the events of my own life has shaped me into the person I am today, and yoga keeps this in the forefront of my mind. Thanks for carrying on this very important lesson! (I think this is truly "the meaning of life.")

Tried des sandwiches de viande fumee and LOVED them. Visited quaint shops in search of gifts. Marveled at the beautiful architecture and history of vieux Montreal. Relaxing and doing some yoga. Thoroughly enjoyed being in a French city, hearing, seeing and speaking le francais tout le temps. C'etait vraiment incroyable! We had marvelous time in Montreal.

What a lovely post. I'm watching the movie Enlightenment about a man's yoga journey. It is fascinating. As your post states, we all begin this journey for different reasons and grasp different aspects of yoga initially to help guide us on this life long adventure. It just takes that first step (whether it is right or wrong) to help point you in the right direction. Enjoy your trip Donna! What a lovely post.

I remember traveling from the airport to our apartment in the Plateau during a blizzard... thankfully it was someone else driving... Driving in Montréal is the reason why I haven't visited since I moved away... it's not the best city for a car :) I hope you have a beautiful stay in the city- this time of year is such a magical and beautiful time!
