Blogs from Montréal, Quebec, Canada, North America - page 54

Ahhh good ol Montreal, quite possibly my favourite city in all of North America. I'll be here mainly for my best friends wedding, but I'll be squeezing as much fun as I can on the streets. Anyone who has ever been to the city knows it is a party town with some of the best food found on the continent. Oh and the night life is incredible! So, first thing first is getting all prepared for the wedding. After the tux fitting, in which I look bad ass, we went off for dinner at the most posh place I think I've ever been. Moishes right smack downtown is the place to go. Seriously, if you don't mind dropping at least fifty bucks for a meal, excluding the awesome wine go here http://www.moishessteakhouse.com/ I had a fillet ... read more

It is the night before I leave Montreal... In less than 24 hours, I will be on a plane en route to Rome, where I will be for all of 12 hours before heading to Spain then Morocco. Absolute madness lies ahead... Just said bye to the girls, who I will miss immensely, cannot believe the summer went by so fast. I expect a Cahier Canada full of stories mailed to me weekly while I am in Italy... My bags are pretty much packed, and even though I am leaving for over 5 months and moving to Milan, the fashion capital of the world, I'm managing to only bring one suitcase and my backpack, a feat if I've ever met one. Who packs light when they have soccer players to meet??? This is the first posting ... read more

July 8 - July 25, 2006 Gettysburg, Pa. - Montreal, Que. 13,556 miles to date 1,217 miles this leg Since we’re in French Canada, the headline must be bilingual: Tomber Amboreaux des Canadiens! Our Montreal host had to reference two dictionaries to properly translate that idiom and conjugate the verb, and that’s but one example of the lengths our new Canadian friends are going for us. The connecting thread of the past two and a half weeks has been the wonderful people we’ve met in an area of the continent where our address book was previously blank. We’ve turned again to the Global Freeloaders website, contacted friends of friends, and even asked point-blank to be taken home by one of the musicians at a concert we attended! (We were, of course.) This story starts in Gettysburg, ... read more
