Well I finally got outside of the United States, and I have a stamp in my 5 month old passport to prove it..lol! Montreal is a very cool city, and of course I look forward to a return trip, to experience even more.

English version can be found below! Even voor achten stond ik op om te gaan douchen en Ellen volgde niet veel later mijn voorbeeld. Het ontbijt lieten we ons goed smaken en daarna moesten de tassen weer worden ingepakt want vandaag zouden we verder reizen richting de westkust. We checkten uit maa…

We arrived in Montréal by plane from Milan via Zurich after about 10 hours of travel. We stayed for 4 nights in an hotel right in the city centre. We visited downtown, Old Montreal, the wonderful botanic gardens, the gay area "le village", Mount Royal Park with its be…

Some pictures around Montreal from various times.

  The first thing on our list of things to do in Montreal was to have a smoke meat sandwich at Ben's restaurant. I am told to have Big Ben's smoke meat sandwich, fries, pickle and a cherry coke which they are famous for. Well we did and it was awesome, by far the best smoke meat sandwich I ha…

A train tour of the four major cities in Eastern Canada - Toronto - Ottawa - Montreal and Quebec City.

When I decided to take a random trip to Montreal for Labor Day weekend, people asked me "why Montreal?" Why not? is alway…

A view of the french speaking provience of Quebec, Canada.

These are just a few photos I took when I was visiting with friends back in 2004 and 2007. Montréal summer festivals are best... so much to do and the atmosphere is great. We visited the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal, Juste Pour Rire (Just for Laughs festival), and went to Tam-Tams one Sunday at the base of Mont-Royal (great music and community feeling). I love this city!

Thursday's mammoth coach trip wasn't as bad as we'd thought. It took us through some great scenery and attractive little towns in New Hampshire and Vermont and a pleasant but thorough grilling from the Canadian border control. Quebec, of course, is the predominantly french-speaking part of bil…

Heather & I love train travel. We are big fans of the Amtrak and Canada's rail system. We lead busy lives and throughly enjoy the time on the train to relax, sleep, play on the laptop, read, etc while someone else does the driving. To fly we would be in NYC before we could barely open a book, w…
