A day at the parc.

One of the features we plan to start having on our blog is quick posts about various aspects of life in Montreal and Canada that we enjoy.
The first installment is a look at the parks of Montreal (parc in French).

Mark this date…

So…Jen and I aren’t the most punctual when it comes to blogging.  But we WANT to be.  We really, really do!  So we’re setting up a backup plan in case of our inevitable negligence.  Starting this weekend, there will be regular automated posts made AT LEAST twice a week on Sundays and Thursdays.  And if [...]

I am Canadian.

My friend Fabio at work passed along this great video of a Molson beer commercial.  It’s a MUST see, if you are looking to understand those crazy Canadians a little more.
There is a Quebec spoof on Youtube as well, but it’s not quite G-rated so we’ll leave it up to the [...]

BIXI or bust.

This week, Montreal launched there BIXI bike sharing program.  For $78 dollars, you can get a yearly pass that will eventually give you access to a few thousand bikes all over the island.  With the pass, you can pick up any bike, ride it anywhere for 30 minutes free of charge, after that, there is [...]

Eco-Adventure!

This weekend, Jen and I decided to take an eco-adventure through our favorate neighborhoods in Montreal, Mile End and Plateau.

Thank Goodness It’s Friday!

Beth passed on a link to photos she and Enzo took during their visit to Montreal, and the photos included this great shot of Jon and I, so I thought I’d post it on the blog! I’ll post some more photos later.

Okay…we didn’t sign up for this…it’s currently 39 degrees!  (That’s Farenheit, folks!) It got up to a whoppin’ 57 today.  I suggested we go swimming in the river.  Jen disagreed.

A Photo Journey Through Old Montreal!

As promised, long ago, we are finally ready to share our recent photo journey through Old Montreal and Griffintown.  Old Montreal, as everyone should know by now, is the original downtown of Montreal.  It is full of beautiful architecture and narrow European streets bursting at the seems with cafés, boutiques, art galleries, and restaurants.

Our Apartment

Finally, here is a long-awaited blog entry, with long-awaited pictures of the apartment!
In the past month, Jon and I have gained worthwhile experience to open up our own bed and breakfast. Unfortunately, our guestroom still doubles as the living room/dining room/studio, and our air mattress won’t earn us a Zagat rating, I’m afraid. What am [...]
