ABC Wednesday: U is for Urban

The word "urban" had been playing around in my head, but my friend Wil used it in her introduction and I thought, "Aha, that's the word I've been trying to remember."
If you can tell me any other words I've forgotten, Wil, my life might be a lot less complicated.

Imagine if I'd been able to walk farther

Hadn't been feeling well since I struggled out of the taxi and into my Montreal hotel. Thank goodness for room service. Got brave today and went for a walk around the block to find a pharmacy. That's when I discovered it doesn't matter where you are in Montreal, there's something beautiful around every corner. Top and bottom photos here are of the convent of The Grey Sisters of Montreal. The property was sold in 2005 to Concordia University, giving les Souers Grises until 2013 to vacate the property.
