Friday, May 9th - we are shopping!

Another week gone by. Pretty uneventful. I watched the Habs-Bruins game on Saturday night; kinda nice to have a game played at normal hours (for here!). We went shopping to the Avenues after school on Thursday and discovered another part of the mall that we hadn't seen yet! Yes, it is that big! On Friday, we went to the Gold souk, shopping for gold. It was quite interesting: there was a lot of nice stuff and a fair amount of other stuff I wouldn't buy (even if it's made of gold). They have a lot of 21 carat gold, which is very yellow and very soft. All the local people wear it (and it great quantity!). We are now waiting anxiously for the next few days to go by so we can board a plane for Ottawa on Wednesday. We are so looking forward to this!
