I’ll be going to Montreal at the end of September 2007 to participate in a friend’s wedding. I’ve only been to one other Canadian city/province – Vancouver, BC - and I loved it, though in many ways it wasn’t much different from some of the areas I’ve visited in So Cal (where I live) and other larger cities in the US. Still, the scenery was absolutely beautiful, and I loved that I could walk virtually anywhere or take public transportation and not have to rent a car. Plus, as a beer aficionado, I thoroughly enjoyed visiting local brew pubs and sampling the local offerings. The friend whose wedding I’m in has been to Montreal on many occasions and says it’s beautiful and has lots of charm and character. And of course there are some amazing breweries up there, too! I’m truly honored to have been asked to be part of my friend’s special day, and I’m really looking forward to visiting Montreal!
