and, like it did for Ed and Martine, it turned into Market day for us. We were up at the Jean Talon Market for quite a while – first we had breakfast at Le Petit Alep, a Syrian place on Jean Talon itself, and then we cut through the SAQ (bought some nice bordeaux on the way through) to get to the market itself.
As Ed says, the market in 2004 is a great thing because it’s pretty much the only place you can get fresh vegetables that were actually grown in soil within 100km of here. But you have to keep your wits about you, because the vendors there aren’t snobs about it – they’ll sell you produce trucked in from California if they have to.
