MONTREAL- CANADA

We flew from Boston to Montreal for the weekend.  We are lucky as the weather is still beautiful. It is incredible to have such a good weather in November. The city seems more beautiful with the sun. While I wonder about the streets of the city, where there are no vehicles, I meet street artists, and I see a different Montreal in their pictures. They have pictured a completely pure-white city with ice hanging down the grooves in the form of stalactites. They have built another city underneath; without getting out on the streets, one can pass from the metro to the hotels, office blocks and shopping centers. Montreal is quite a joyous city. I do not remember seeing another city with so many cafes, restaurants and bars. One smells the French touch everywhere.
