Une soirée avec Ariane

Not our usual evening

Just as I was finishing work yesterday, Ariane knocked at our back door. Ariane is our AirBNB host. She lives in Montréal, but spends a fair amount of time here in Québec, visiting her parents who live in the flat upstairs. Ariane was on the telephone with their local Internet service provider; she was interested in upgrading their service and wanted me to handle the inquiry.

After I did, we sat on her porch for two hours. She and Alison drank wine while I drank coffee. At 9pm, the three of us ventured out for a late dinner at Le Mezze, a really terrific Greek restaurant that is off the beaten (a.k.a. tourist) path. We dined on salad, squid, octopus and lamb, and as Ariane says one does: ate a little, drink a little (repeat). Afterward, we walked back up the steep hill to our flat, collapsing pretty quickly into bed around midnight.

Tidbit

Crocs were created here in Québec by a small company named Foam Creations in 2002. Two years later, a handful of American entrepreneurs created Crocs, Inc. and purchased all of the assets of Foam Creations.

​People either love Crocs or hate them. I, for one, fall in the lover camp.
