...Montreal

We arrived in Montreal with 2 days to spare and 4 eyes ready for new seeings. Luckily we were staying with Andrew (Katie's brother) and April (his gf), who were ready to show us the sights. They lived right downtown which was great for short walks/bike rides to great food, as demonstrated by are walk to grab a delicious souvlaki as soon as we arrived. The food was a highlight with great breakfast diners (Andrews fav spots), a cool vegan restaurant and of course the Montreal bagels (which we promptly ordered three dozen of) (also check out the pic of the montreal smoked meat store lineup below). We also did a long bike tour which really showed the variety of sites in the city. Got a show in at the Divan Orange which was a cool venue which demonstrated the vibrancy of the music scene there. Montreal was definitely original, it didnt fit into any city 'pigeon hole'.
