Ahhh Montreal! Get around the traffic and road construction - La ville est orange fluo! - and you will find a vibrant and exciting world class city! Marie and I spent this past weekend there with the kids and, as we always do, thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We met Phil and Fernanda for a very authentic and delicious dinner at her Mexican restautant Tamales on Prince Arthur Street - colourful and very authentic with paintings by Diego Rivera and Frida Khalo adorning the walls. Later that night we all went downtown to The House of Jazz (Maison du Jazz), taking the Metro's to an evening of live entertainment - a jazz combo and Tina Turner look-alike singer! You'll see from the pix we all had a great time. I really had to add the one of the three nerds on their laptops at Chad's place - I just wish life had an Undo function! Sunday morning we headed down to Vieux-Montréal and it's cobble stone streets for brunch at Chez Suzette, a Crêperie par excellance! For those of you who have never been to Montreal wait no more. You'll never have a dull moment here! The restaurants are world class, the architecture amazing and the people friendly. But a word of advise - leave your car at home! Have a happy and safe week! gws
