Dear Kate,
I was up in Montreal with a friend on Saturday and fell in love with it. When you're visiting New York next summer, come up to Vermont for a week and we'll swim in the river and take hikes in the mountains and then spend a couple of days in Montreal. It was frigid this past weekend, with blustery wind and freezing rain, but it will be warm in the summer -- balmy, even -- and we can walk and eat and walk some more, wander through the Marché Jean Talon and see if we can get the fruit vendors to smile.
Love,
A
