Montreal

Due to our location just south of Burlington, we were also able to make a quick day trip up to Montreal. Crossing the border into Quebec is always a unique experience, as English abruptly gives way to French and the Vermont countryside slowly morphs into a cobble stone street city with a very European feel. Montreal is definitely a charming city. Walking the narrow alleys of the old town, one can easily be fooled into thinking they've detoured through France. Yet this city retains it's North American character and comes out as something uniquely its own. Erika and I had a wonderful time eating crepes and poutine, walking along the riverfront and exploring the many shops and museums.
