Montréal Travel Blogs

Background: A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Canada's paramount political problem is meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services after a decade of budget cuts. The issue of reconciling Quebec's francophone heritage with the majority anglophone Canadian population has moved to the back burner in recent years; support for separatism abated after the Quebec government's referendum on independence failed to pass in October of 1995.

Ah, Montreal. The city that I call home when I travel. We're back in Montreal for the summer, and we're loving it! While Dave and I were running a "chase point" or checkpoint for the Montreal City Chase, we were distracted by a man wearing a clown wig riding on a kid's scooter, chased by a blue bus full of drunk guys, two of which were hanging out of the overhead emergency exit, throwing water balloons at the clown. Meanwhile, the cockroaches and the snakes at our checkpoint wanted to know what the commotion was about. As t [View Full Entry]

Thursday July 17, 2008 - Sunday July 20, 2008 <<Unfortunately, we didn’t take a lot of photos while in Montreal. Seemed the camera always got left behind in the hotel room.>> So Tegan and I headed up to Canada to attend Brian and Ghislaine’s wedding in Montreal. We spent 3 nights in Montreal and 2 nights in Quebec City. What follows is a brief description about our time in each city. Overall I really enjoyed the feel of Montreal. Festivals aplenty, the streets seemed very alive despite the unpredictable showers. A very friendly feel, I don’t [View Full Entry]

Beste iedereen, Als eerst wil Ik met het volgende beginnen..... Dr. Ink en Aar (de man van) willen iedereen bedanken voor het bijdragen aan de superdag tijdens het verdedigen van haar proefschrift en haar benoeming tot Dokter in de Biologie.(What's up Doc?) Het was een dag waar wij lang naar toegeleefd hebben en een dag om nooit te vergeten! Enige minpuntje die dag is dat Inke vanaf nu als Ineke door het leven moet aangezien haar naam verkeerd stond op haar bul!!! Maar dat mocht de pret niet drukken. Graag komen wij deze dag overdoen op de kosten van de Universiteit [View Full Entry]

Heading to Montreal from Newport, Rhode Island. Approaching the coast of Nova Scotia.
It’s hard to believe how fast time goes living and working on such a ‘small’ boat! Since my last blog, we’ve sailed into Canada and spent a week in Montreal, climbed a few hundred feet in elevation to the fresh waters of Lake Ontario via the St. Lawerence Seaway Lock system, glanced at Quebec City’s mighty castle, pulled along side Pier 4 in downtown Toronto, and visited Niagara Falls. Each passing day has included new lessons learned, new routines, new scenery and landscapes, new pilots, and the constant wonder of what we’re going to see next. We sail [View Full Entry]

Ok we have been in Canada for a while now and I have been slack in not updating... QUEBEC CITY So we did the big drive up from Boston to Quebec city on Wednesday... Except we made it bigger by getting lost getting out of Boston! We drove up via Maine which was absolutely gorgeous! The road followed the river for the most part which was really lovely and made a long drive better. Just out of portsmouth in Maine we had a stop to visit the life size chocolate moose, Lenny. He is made of solid chocolate and had some [View Full Entry]

Schwartz's has the most amazing smoked meat, and what a place!! It was PACKED
June 18 - Montréal We got in Montréal around 6h00 PM and went directly to the world famous Schwartz’s restaurant, which they are known for their famous Montreal smoked meat. Nigel was in heaven. It is definitely worth it to stop here, even though there are often line ups to get in. Afterwards, we headed towards Dominic’s place, one of Nigel’s friends. We were a little bit early, so we stopped at a look out point, which had a beautiful seen of whole city. After that, we met up with Dominic and head downtown.

Stanley Cup
Stanley Cup
Hockey Hall of Fame, Toronto, ON. 13.6.2008.
Sateisesta Vancouverista tie vei sateiseen Edmontoniin. Siellä ei oikeastaan ollut mitään kiinnostavaa. Kävin maailman suurimmassa ostoskeskuksessa, West Edmonton Mallissa, ja se oli kammottava paikka se. Muuten lähinnä ajelin eestaas metrolla, kun keli oli mitä oli. Vielä sateisempi oli Calgary, joka kaupunkina vaikutti näistä Albertan suurkaupungeista paljon mielenkiintoisemmalta. Nyt valitettavasti pikainen Calgary-kokemus jäi todella vajavaiseksi kun ei kaatosade paljoa innostanut kylillä hengailemaan. Albertan harmaudesta ilmasilta vei minut kerralla itään, Ontarion New Yorkiin, eli Toron [View Full Entry]
