Woah...Time Just Flew By!

Hey! Sorry I'm a little late in posting (and by a little late, I mean VERY VERY late), but I have a good excuse I swear! I was in Montréal, Canada for a week--and BOY do I have some pics to share with you. 

First off, a little Montréal background: since it is in the Canadian province of Québec, everybody there speaks french. And Montréal is like the Paris of North America: you've got your fine dining, crêpes, fashion, and innovative technology. There is also so much history to delve into, as well as beautiful architecture around the city. Honestly, if I could, I would move there (even if I have to resign myself to the fact that there is an abundance of maple syrup all over the place... Seriously, there is such a thing as too much of something good). 

I have to say, the Notre-Dame Basilica was by far the most beautiful building I have ever seen:

I really enjoyed sitting down in one of the pews and just contemplating life by way of deep thought.... It was so peaceful there! And the organist's performance was superb.

OOOO! And my favorite pic I was sooo lucky to capture was the fountain in the Vieux Montréal square:


That's a keeper! :)

Now, we stayed at the L Hotel, a place with great service, and VERY clean rooms.

Overall, the trip was FABULOUS.  I was in heaven over there--now I have my sights set on Paris....

Who's with me? Where would YOU go if you could? 

Don't hesitate to comment--I could use all the help I can get!

Merci Beaucoup!!!
