miko's log: vacation, day 1

our dear friends, karlene and brian had a birthday party to celebrate their turning 30. we kept insisting that we weren't going to "celebrate" too hard, and told them that we didn't have to sleep over, but we ended up doing both. this made waking up the next morning a little difficult, never mind the 6 hour drive to montreal. luckily i had already packed in advance on the off-chance that we decided to "celebrate" too hard, so we departed on schedule.

the drive was extra fun since we had midge (our newish car) for comfort and dual climate control (i didn't have to bring 5 different things to layer on as the ride progressed) and simone (the GPS computer woman inside) for directions. our trip, in a few nutshells:

day 1: toronto to montreal
we stopped at tim horton's two times en route. we went for dinner with amelie and ate yummy and unique sushi. surprise ingredients in the sushi rolls included strawberries and sweet potato (not in the same roll) amongst others that i can't remember now. very tasty. we went to the jazz festival where we heard pretty much every other genre of music except for jazz. the people watching was good though, as it always is in the province of quebec; more about this later.
