lazy me is wondering if anyone knows of fun things to do in montreal? the lady k. and i are planning a last-minute tenth-anniversary trip in mid-october.

when planning trips to unfamiliar places, i get overwhelmed. i want centuries of history. i want transit maps. i want full-color watercolors of mausolea and desserts. i want the hotel room where lived suzanne verdal, the muse of leonard cohen who shared with him a plate of mandarin oranges. i want to take a breakfast meeting at the office québécois de la langue française with martha wainwright and her dogsled team. but i guess i need, like, a place to stay and things to do.

there will be poutine.

Strew the halls with boughs of vomit
Fa la la la la, la la la la

Wake the children from their nightmares
Fa la la la la, la la la la

See how they both run a fever!
Fa la la, la la la, la la la

Car trip Sunday in a blizzard
One hundred miles east, fa la, la LA
