Nickels was GREAT! We ALMOST didn't get to go though. See, when we 1st got to Montreal, my mom was mad because she was lost, my aunt was driving us both crazy, and I was upset because my dream vacation was turing into a nightmare. My mom decided to stop looking for the night at where we were because it was getting dark. Montreal is like a huge island with a lot of little cities inside it. Thats why we were getting so lost. So we get at a hotel. I stayed in the car while my mom checked us in. I was so up set... I was like on the verg of tears because I just wanted EVERYTHING to work out perfectly. My mom comes out with this huge smile on her face... and tells me that the woman at the desk speeks English... and that there was a Nickels right down the road. So.. we planed on eating there that night. Well we looked and looked... till finally we stoped and asked someone. We stoped at a store and the guy there said there use to be one right across from their store, except they had filed bank rupcy. I could not BELIVE this! I was so upset... eating at Nickels was like one of the main things I wanted to do. So... we ate at an famous American pizza place... Pizza hut. Yeh they have those! lol. I remeber just crying lol. I know those people that worked there were like... whats wrong with her? But... I just didn't care everything was going so wrong. So we go back to the hotel, and my mom goes in to see if our room was ready and told Mary about the Nickels situation and she said she was VERY sorry that she didn't know that had happend. So afterwards... we all went in including me with tear marks all down my face. I know Mary was tryin to cheer me up by saying "so YOUR the huge Celine Dion fan!!!" I kinda smiled and said "yeh!"
She helped us find our way around Montreal and what Quest and ... Nord and all this was... haha it was like south west north and east in French. Me not having French in school yet... didn't know!! So.. we got lost getting to Old Montreal... we ended up in... wa la! Charlemange! lol. But we got on a road that should and did lead us right into Old Montreal. I was looking at my Celine book in the back seat, and I happend to look to the left of me, and THERE WAS A NICKELS!!! So we stoped..and walked in... The 1st thing I saw was a wall of Celine things like golden albums and plaques! I was like... OH COOL! lol. But we got all the way *lol* in and the guy said SOMETHING in French to us lol. And we had this look on our faces like.. "what?" He smiled and said "soooo you speek English!?" I know I was relieved lol. My mom... the 1st thing out of her mouth "yes, your looking at the worlds biggest Celine Dion fan!!" Lol the guy said "She might just stop for lunch today!" And we all laughed. So he sat us at a table... I had pasta! :-D And then... whooo Celine cake! You want to talk about a MASSIVE peice of cake... this is the mother load man lmao. Our waitress was really nice lol. She had an accent too. I could not help noticing all these accents omgosh lmao. She let me take a picture under the Nickels sign in the back :). It was the BEST place I've ever ate at lmao. Hey I even got my 1st poster and Celine shirt there! They both have the cover of "Falling Into You" on them! :) Everyone helped us find our way to the Notre Dame Basilica... I will put about that on another page! :) Here are some pictures of Nickels for now though! :) |
