Wonderful Glass



We have arrived in Montreal, very tired.  Today we hopped the subway and went to the Art museum.  I was a bit nervous about the subway – I know too much about crime.  It may make penitentiary museums interesting, but it has detrimental effect in other things.

But the subway was fine, clean, easy to navigate and perfectly acceptable.  The underground life here is also quite impressive.  Here too, I understand and appreciated it today and I’m sure I would in winter.  (In reply: to C. :   it’s god-awful hot here too, but it’s supposed to break tonight.)  But while the underground is nice, I still can’t help but wonder about it’s crime rate.

Anyway, we went to the museum to see Chihuly.  Amazing.  It was his fire, plants and towers.  They are always impressive alone, but in a group, it’s even more impressive.  The colors are vibrant and I don’t know how he gets the color and shape.  M. and I both agreed it would be horrible to be the set up person, it would be stressful.  I was surprised too, they let us get pretty close to them.

Definitely worth it.
