Montreal

Maisonneuve Monument Montreal

We went to Montreal for a cold and snowy, but wonderful winter vacation. What a beautiful city! Highlights included strolling around old Montreal, seeing the penguins and other critters at the Biodome, and taking a day trip up to Mont Tremblant.

My new toy also came right before our trip, a Canon Rebel T2i, so it was great timing to learn to use it, even though I think it will take me a while to master all of the settings...

The food was also amazing. I would especially recommend Olive et Gourmando - the Macaroni and Cheese with truffle tapenade was truly amazing and only $15! I also ate lots of delicious bagels, smoked salmon and crème brûlée too.
