vacation: montreal

Here is the second part of my summer vacation recap (you can see the first one here). After exploring some of northern New England, we headed up to Canada and stayed in Montreal for a couple of days. I thought Montreal was wonderful- it had a very European feel and I loved all of the French influences around the city. We walked a ton so I had ample opportunity to snap pictures; believe me when I say I easily could have doubled (or tripled) the number posted below.
