Montreal

Going in Sept as a stop on my cross-Canada road trip!!!

I came to Montreal as an exchange student and I stayed for three years. I learned to speak French fluently, made some awesome friends, and my first son was born at Notre Dame Hospital a few days before Jean Baptiste Day. When I walked home from the hospital carrying my newborn son we were accompanied by a parade in blue and white! I loved that I never missed having a car; public transportation was everything. I loved vieux-port, the underground shopping, and the HUGE churches. They made an impression on me and 10 years later I entered the Catholic Church. :)

I miss the city and I would love to go again.

Montreal has some of the best shopping I’ve ever experienced!

Hit up rue Sainte-Catherine early in the morning and expect to spend at least 4 hours of your day in Simons if you’re shopping for clothes.

Oh and wear comfortable shoes!

This is THE place to get the world famous “Smoked Meat Sandwich”. Well, my wife and I stepped out of the hotel to find ourselves in the midst of a heavy snowfall—we went during Christmas time (we like to travel to places in winter to save money). We trudged through several inches of snow to arrive at the metro station, got off at a stop, and trudged uphill in blizzard conditions, freezing our tails off in the windy, icy weather and finally arrived. Despite all this, somehow those sandwiches were worth the effort … and I dream of them often…

Montreal will always have a special place in my heart. My husband is Canadian and I am American. Prior to marriage, we had to go through the immigration process. It was in Montreal that we had our immigration interview which led to my then-fiance getting his visa to move to the United States. To me, Montreal will forever be the end of a long journey. It was where it became clear that a long distance relationship would finally be coming to an end, and where our journey together officially began.

I would love to go back to Montreal someday to actually see the sites. My entire experience with the city is the US Embassy and the Hard Rock Cafe.

Unfortunately, I still need a passport. I really need to get on that. Sadly, it’s necessary now. I’m thinking of going for my birthday with my mom and some friends.

I really hope this place is as beautiful (read: European) as it sounds.

I’ve known a few people who’ve gone to Montreal and they all say its fantastic. I’ve been to the west coast of Canada a few times, so I’d like to see something of the other side. I know nothing about it, really, and that’s nice, too.

It is a great place 4 shOopping! there´s a lOt of stOres in snt. Catherinee!

Old MOntreal is very quiet! but beautiful…
