The City of A Hundred Bell Towers

Montreal has a bunch of nicknames, but this was the one I liked the best. It came from Mark Twain in 1881.

If you have been following me on Instagram (yes I got back on after the TOS was clarified but I am still watching the updates closely) you got a good gist of how my trip went. The Aussie had The Shiny Pretty™ with him and took some great shots.
So. Much. Snow!
Raw milk cheese = yum.
Jean-Talon Market.
Smoked meat at Schwartz's. 
Post-snow at Notre Dame Basilica.
Notre Dame Basilica.
Organ at Notre Dame.
Bonsecours in Old Montreal.
Dinner at Beaver Hall.
Cheese, yum.
Mmm...pate. 
Brunch in Old Montreal.
Metro.
Montreal is bike friendly - certain areas on Montreal 
Bidome in the Olympic Park.
A National Geographic moment waiting to happen. 
Beaver!
Love the colors of this bird. I see a colorwork sweater in this palette.
Most likely Puffin Sweater. 
Speaking of puffins...PUFFINS! 
Baby lynx. 
The sloth was hanging around sleeping high up in the trees. 
Jazz at Modavie on our last night. 
Now, the big question is: where do we travel next?
