Am I going to live here?

This is the Square Saint Louis in Montreal. I would give my arm to own property in this area. The bordering Avenue Laval is one of the prettiest streets I've seen in any city.



On second thoughts, I wouldn't give my arm. But I'd give a tooth, maybe.

Today I visited l'Oratoire St. Joseph. It's a building so vast that it overwhelms one's perspective. I took pictures, which I can't upload today, but I don't think they'll do the place justice.

The mishmash of architectural styles in Montreal seems to be the defining style of the city itself. Some streets are such a hodge-podge of this and that; it's almost like a deliberate attempt NOT to plan. I love it.
