Now that I have more time...

It's been already two weeks since I arrived to Montreal and now that I know, at least most of the time, in which direction I'm heading off to when I'm walking through the city, I have more time to pay attention to other things, the small things, and this city has a lot of them to offer.

I do also have more time to check the items of the checklist Arantza and I have been preparing during the last months, among them, a visit to the Jewish deli Schwartz's in order to eat, of course, a smoked meat sandwich.

Schwartz's is almost an institution in Montreal, a pilgrimage place for any visitor with culinary interests ;-) And so we headed off to the Boulevard St-Laurent, commonly known as La Main (I will come back to this street later), to line up due to the popularity of the place.

Looking at this sandwich, some of you will probably think of its New Yorker brother, the pastrami sandwich. I've found many sites in internet discussing the differences between these two ways of preparing smoked meat. However, and despite of having tasted both of them, the difference isn't still very clear to me. In any case, both are delicious, a very smooth and pleasant meat with a delicate flavor.

To finish today's walk, which we'll leave here at this time, I suggest a Where's Wally? sort of game. In following picture you can see both of us, my friend Arantza and I, can you find us? ;-)
