Ben’s Deli

I recently found out that a photo I had taken of Ben’s Deli in Montreal will be featured in the Schmap Montreal Guide. I had posted the photo on Flickr, and someone asked that I post it in a Montreal-related group, and a while later someone else contacted me from Schmap.  I feel special.

This news also makes me realize how much I miss Montreal.  My flight to defend my thesis was booked yesterday, and I will be there from September 7th – 11th.  That is the exact week that Karen will be in Winnipeg, though, which is both cruel and unfair.  I always get so excited at the prospect of going back for a visit, so I’ve decided that for as long as there are friends in the city, I will make it a priority to fly back and visit at least once or twice a year.  It is, after all, only a few hundred dollars for a flight, and everyone I know there has a couch (ha!).  Doing things that make me happy is a new focus of mine, and visiting Montreal and all of the lovely people I know there is definitely one of them.
