Quick hello

before I head up to Val Morin tomorrow for the yoga. It's been an absolutely sweltering day here in Montreal, not as hot as Sicily (which topped 45 C at one point!), but at a humid 40 C, you can hardly call it mild! I managed to pass the day quite pleasantly nevertheless, by picking up a few extra yoga supplies, including a "hot mat" (how appropriate!) and loads of light cotton exercise clothing as even in the mountains it is sure to be very warm, and taking a friend out to lunch on the ueber-trendy Rue St. Denis (pronounced 'denniiiiiiiee" in Quebecois French). Now I am waiting at the not-so-aptly named Hotel de Paris (I struggle to believe the Parisians would pass off a room so grim for 75 Canadian and be shameless enough to put the name of their beloved City to it) for my good friend and yogini extraordinaire, Ms. Takei, to arrive off her gruelling multi-stop flight from Japan so that we can go out to dinner. Off to Val Morin at 9 tomorrow. Probably won't be able to post until next Friday. Have a great week! M xx
