March 2012 - Montreal

A road trip through French Canada, including Montreal and Quebec City. Montreal is a very nice city, with some beautiful churches and a system of underground passages and shopping areas (the "underground city") that are nice on a cold day. Afterwards we went to a Sugar Shack, which is a must do in the Spring.
