I try to go for a ride on the bike path along the lakeshore in Lachine at least once or twice a week, but today I decided to bring a camera to share a bit of the view. (I'm not great at taking pictures...)
Sail boats!
Seagulls!
Ducks!
My new favorite spot!
I wasn't tired when I got to where I usually turn around, so I kept going and found this really beautiful, quiet spot. The only problem was 10km later, I remembered that I still had to ride all the way home!
So that was my awesome 20km bike ride, here is some of my fav biking music:
Know what makes a great weekend? I'd say ... Mexican food, fireworks and Felix & Norton cookies. And finding free parking in Old Montreal! That's what we did Saturday night. First off, Diana and I had a deliiiiicious meal at a Mexican restaurant in Old Montreal called Casa de Mateo. To start, we each ordered a Tequila Sunrise: tequila, orange juice and grenadine. New favorite drink? Yes. Then we ordered some guacamole as an appetizer. A few minutes after we ordered it, a woman came to our table with a cart and made the guacamole right in front of us! As we waited for our main meals (fajitas and stuffed chicken), we got to enjoy the sweet sounds of a live MARIACHI BAND! I had never seen one before, other than on TV, so it was quite a treat to hear them. Not gonna lie, I've had "La Bamba" stuck in my head all day :)
After dinner, Diana and I headed to the Old Port to meet up with Kathy and Bronson. We found an excellent spot near the Clock Tower where we got a great view of the fireworks going off at La Ronde. It was amazing to see how many people came out to see the fireworks. And Old Montreal at night, all lit up, is probably my favorite area of the city. It's a beautiful place to be.
Finally, on our way back home, we spotted it: a Felix & Norton cookie truck. Kathy almost made us jump over a fence about 3.5 feet high to get to it faster! Seriously though, best cookies. They were so gooey and chocolatey, and full of butter. Great way to end the evening :)
So last week-ish we worked on this little gem for a contest that we are entering. It's a cover of Bryan Adams' "Run to You". If you're old school Line Spectra friends, you know that Bryan Adams is no stranger to our band.
Here is our cover. Go to our youtube channel and Like/Comment/Watch our video!
It was my brother's awesome amazing wedding last night!I won't do a long re-cap, but the food was delicious, the music was great and it was a crazy party! Kathy and Vanessa were there too, of course...which means Line Spectra have officially played at a wedding! Here's proof:
Have a great week, it's going to take all I've got not to fall asleep at my desk tomorrow...
