Montréal

I went to Montreal for work and then Joe joined me for my birthday and our 15 year anniversary trip!

A few snaps from non-meeting moments.

 

We had dinner at Cirque Eloize and watched some amazing performances!

July 28: Quartier des spectacles: Musée d'art contemporain, flower strewn open air cafes, pop up performances, projected street art, an abundance of food trucks.

 

Parc due Mont-Royal:

 

 

Canal Lounge for my birthday on July 29: All aboard the coolest bar ever.

 

 

July 30: Food tour in the trendy Mile End area (fave band Arcade Fire started there), amazing dinner at LOV (Local-Organic-Vegetarian!), strolling through Old Town.

 

July 31: Basilica (where the architect converted to Catholicism upon completion), innovative Pointe-à-Callière Museum of archaeology, L'Arrivage Bistro (great views and fancy food), wishing for more wall space for the art we want to buy, and ZIPLINING!

 

Reflections on Montréal:
No one jaywalks
The manbuns are tiny
Street art and free concerts surround you
Even the money is beautiful
Jia is going to McGill. (Shhh, she doesn’t know it yet.)
