weekend in Montreal

            

We had a chance to get out and see more of this vast country last weekend.  In spite of what is probably the worst winter weather we’ve seen here so far, we took to the road for the 6-hour drive from Toronto to Montreal.  This was my first visit to Quebec and the French-speaking region of Canada.  I was surprised how most people in Montreal started conversations in English, only switching to French if the person responded in French.  I was encouraged to see that this wasn’t the case just a short distance outside of Montreal.  Perhaps we’ll get back to Montreal during the summer because the winter definitely didn’t do the city justice, but we enjoyed our visit just the same.
