Finish the Sentence: Montreal
« Return to Finish the Sentence « Return to Montreal
A wild week in Montreal, my first visit of what would turn into a half dozen over the next 18 months. My adventures were centered around the marriage of two friends, leading to big nights out and a wonderful wedding. There’s also the folks I met on a later trip. People define my Montreal, both the locals and the visitors I met.
