B&B on the Park Montreal

So I haven't actually flown out yet, but I'm planning to.. In 9 hours. I just wanted to get my fans pumped up to read more about my adventures.

It's snowing a lot outside (in GFPK). I foresee a nice 1.5 hour bus ride from downtown Montreal to PET airport.

There is a mighty river flowing from a great inland sea. Half way down the river is an isle with a mountain in the middle. Around the mountain is a city. First people called it Ville Marie. We called it Montreal in Middle French

In the center of the city is a plaza where Iroquois defended themselves against whites. Now the place is taken by a bank. Both sides lost.

Around the plaza were the cobblestone streets with the stores closed ...

... ailes qui ont touché terre en premier. Ouf! J ne prendrai pas l'avion de si tôt... Oh si, je pars pour les Alpes le 22 janvier... Hey bien, il faut ce qu'il faut.

Une petite pensé pour mon oncle Bert qui est décédé il y a quelques jours. J'ai donc passé une journée éprouvante à ses funérailles dimanche.

Et hop, de retour au travail lundi avec une horloge interne toute détraquée mais la tête remplie de beaux souvenirs...

Ces derniers jours j'ai magasiné énormément, me suis renseigné beaucoup et j'ai beaucoup "gossé" sur mon vélo. J'ai remplacé les patins de frein, ajusté ceci et cela, installé les gardes-boues, le rack avant, le cyclo-mètre, etc.

J'ai aussi testé le vélo sur 40 km, une première avec les pédales à clip... et un cuissard! Une belle balade mère et fils qui s'est terminée avec aucun mal physique, mécanique ou mental. À défaut d'être beau c'est confo des cuissards de v ...

... A charming Portuguese family ran the place. The food was wonderful. The owner/chef sat down with us after lunch and poured a 10 year old Tawny Port, "on the house." We sat, drank and he talked story about his life coming from a town of 9, 000 to Canada. After a pint, a glass of port and a rich lunch, we had to get walking again. We ambled down to Prince-Arthur Street and Square Saint-Louise. During the 60's Prince ...

Je suis heureux d'annoncer que je ferai mon premier grand voyage cette année (c'est enfin officiel). Et tout aussi heureux d'annoncer que je ferai ce voyage avec mon très cher ami Jonathan Habel Inc. Nous avons déjà établi quelques paramètres : Destination Europe, atterissage à Paris, départ dans la première moitié de septembre 2008, durée 3 semaines (pour moi) et 2 mois (pour Jonathan l'aventurier). Mes destinations de choix ...

... city in it's full wintry glory. A hike up Mont royal revealed the city in all it's splendor. I did enjoy the view..... but was sightly more intrigued by the snow eating machine at the view point...... it plows the snow and then sucks it up and sprays it out as a powder....... intriguing! The cobbled icy streets of old Montreal brought many falls and much laughter. After a few hours outside it was quite necessary to make a pit stop ...

Well guys I'm off in 6 hours from now! I'm going to be in Montreal area until the 29th and then I fly down to Brazil. If anyone wants to reach me last minute my cellphone will still work until the 29th, you know my number. Thank you all for making these past few weeks so memorable. I hope you all have a great ...

... from what I've heard, the Thai Railway doesn't handle reservation very well, but I had no problem through this site, and guaranteed that Mario and I will have those 2nd class sleeping berths waiting for us on our long, overnight train trips. Saves on the ...

My high has this trip to England every year, open to students in grades 10 and 11 only. In my graduating year, my chance finally came to take part in this great trip. A trip of learning, of exploring, of adventure, and of pure silliness when all my friends come along! The flight was taking off at 11 pm, so most of the group made it to the ...
