Travel Photography: Montreal, Quebec

Ok. I admit it. I loved Montreal.

Montrealers are known for their pride of their hometown. I think they deserve to be. Montreal is a great city and their ability to hold on to two cultures and languages for generations is something I greatly admire and even envy. Coming from NYC, I respect and understand cultural, hometown pride and Montrealers have much to be proud about, including all the awesome they have to offer those who visit. They are friendly and happy to share their city with you – to show it off, if you will – and I was more than happy to take it all in.

Montreal rocks and I can’t wait to go back and think you should visit as well.

In the meantime, here are some photos from my trip.

    LOVE Montreal. It is a place our family vacations at least once per year. I was there in November and every time I go, I love the city more. It is such a diverse and exciting city, one that anyone and any family can really enjoy. I really liked your photos they portrayed the beauty of the city. familyfoodtravel.blogspot.ca

    I'm so glad you went to Palais de Congres, one of my favourite places to shoot in Montreal.

A lot of marriage and relationship advice going ab A lot of marriage and relationship advice going about as of late. I’ve done this at least twice, so here’s what I know - There is no one definition for what makes a good marriage. There’s also no one size that fits all. I can tell you I sucked at relationships because I spent a lot of time, including a first marriage, being defined by others...and disappointing a lot of people in the process. Once I started to figure myself out and pursued the things that made me happy, I would disappoint even more people. Because that’s what happens when you don’t live to meet the expectations of others but to seek out your own joy. What I learned in the process is that people will treat and love you to the standards in which you treat and love yourself. This guy does that even on days when I fail myself. And I learned that I don’t suck at relationships at all. I am a loyal, kind, good, loving friend, and mother, and partner. And yes, I am a bit of a pain in the ass sometimes - but so is everyone else. All I needed was to figure me out first and then, all the beauty and love I deserve followed. He makes me want to be better in ways that I’m not naturally and I do the same for him. We are growing, ever-changing individuals, with our individual wants and needs and dreams and ambitions. But we also really, really make the bestest of friends and respect and love each other deeply. My loyalty to him is not out of some defined expectation of what a wife or a marriage should be. But because I love him and want for nothing more. Our rules are our own as are our struggles and celebrations. That’s it. That’s marriage. At least OUR marriage. So, don’t define the complexities and nuances of intimacy, marriage, and friendships off of gossip rags or celebrity drama, people. Just work on yourself, your heart, and your joy. And whatever happens for you in however it happens, as long as it is positivity and light - even on the bumpy days, then you’re good. It might look like marriage it might not. That’s up to you and what makes you happy. #entanglement
Even though we’ve cut our getaway short, we’re Even though we’ve cut our getaway short, we’re still very much in vacation mode; sleeping in, lounging about, and playing tourists in our little paradise. One of my favorite things to do is go out and forage for food in the farms and Mennonite markets. Then coming home and trying to figure out what to make with it all. We might just layout by the lake while we think about it. I admit, I have waves of anxiety over how uncertain so much still is for all of us. But I’m trying to remember to not stress over the things I can’t control and to focus on the small things that remain beautiful and great. How are you making the most of summer during these strange times? . . . #fingerlakes #summerinquarentine #myflx #summervibes
Stop crying over Goya. These products are NOT our Stop crying over Goya. These products are NOT our heritage or our culture. They are byproducts of industrialized CONVENIENCE. Understand that THAT is what is being lost. Nothing more. Don’t misinterpret a childhood memory, or a staple growing up as cultural tradition. Dig deeper, go further into your culture. Goya ain’t it. You will find that to #BoycottGoya is to find your roots. You can find dry spices and herbs to mix your own adobo, sazon, and sofrito. You can also find dry beans. Prep ahead of time and store. It not only tastes so much better, it’s not hard and it is healthier and less expensive. . . . #food #spices #homemade #latinkitchen
We left Vermont a little earlier, not because it i We left Vermont a little earlier, not because it isn’t beautiful- because it is. Nor because there wasn’t enough to do - because there was. But because our cute cottage rental was surrounded by other cottages (we didn’t know), and though the neighbors were nice, we’ve been spoiled with not seeing neighbors when we step out in the AM for months - and have really loved that. Or hearing traffic (there was a busy road in front) and, well, the water heater was broken. Also? I think we’re spoiled now. The truth is, we just needed a little something different, but when it comes to paradise, we’re already in it. So we came back. Though I am eager to go back to VT in the fall. Plus, we also really love the vibe there. So, if you’re heading that way, enjoy. It’s such a sweet place. We will be here, at @theflxcottage. . . . #myflx #roadtrip #fingerlakes #familygetaway #flxsummer

Resting after a day of road tripping. We’ve arri Resting after a day of road tripping. We’ve arrived to Vermont, our first getaway since the pandemic started. We’ve brought all our own groceries and look forward to long hikes and dips in the lake. Much of what we can do closer to home, but sometimes a change in scenery is what a travel-loving spirit needs. Are you road tripping this summer? If so, where? . . . #summertravel #roadtrip #Vermont #greenmountains #travel
