A couple days late, not a dollar short

Last week there were two holidays – Canada Day and July 4th. I know this is a European adventure blog but this time, I would pay tribute to Canada – the apartment living over the meth lab (the U.S.). I love going to Montreal and Quebec City that are relatively close by (a 4-5 hour drive depending on where I am), and I have been to Ottawa and Toronto but it has been years. When I was in Seattle, saw Vancouver from across the harbor from one of my job sites. Central and Western Canada are on my bucket list as is maybe doing the train across Canada (Via Rail). So this time, I pay tribute to Trudeau, to hockey, to Canada. 😉

This is a long boardwalk at the base of Chateau Frontenac that runs parallel to the river.

Montreal is so international.

The famous market in old Montreal filled with little shops and cafes, and a museum of fashion on the bottom floor.
