Montreal

The Canadiens game was great and managed to get cheap scalped seats. The new york islanders were in town and even for a relatively obscure team - the stadium was sold out.



After the game, i went out on an eating binge, there were so many recommendations of things to try in Montreal, and i just had to! i went to a local Lebanese deli that served up Pierre Trudeau's favourite pita. I'm not much of a vegetarian, but that was a phenomenal pita. Of course, needless to say i had to try Montreal poutine. There are all kinds of versions here, and i chose to go with the Montreal smoked meat version... seriously, not only is montreal smoked meat amazing within two pieces of rye and mustard, it was delicous on this plate of poutine. i kid you not, this plate was the size of pizza, it was huge. well you have the cup for reference anyway.



The next morning i grabbed some fresh bagels at the Fairmount Bakery and headed up to Mount Royal. Here's a shot i took of the park. its a great fall shot.


I really really loved Montreal, and wish i had more time to stay longer, but nonetheless it was a great experience
