Bonne Nuit Montreal

After another beautiful evening in Montreal, we settled in for the night.  The view from the 31st was beautiful - city lights glimmering, the moon shining down, and line of sight to some of the places where we shared the fondest of memories.  Love this town.

Luis de Metro

On a cold Montreal winter evening we happened upon this performer in the Berri Metro underground.  Amongst the rush of commuters, Luis de Godoy passionately strums his Spanish guitar, lost in his music.  He explained how he was an artist, and visits the Berri station to practice.  He pointed us to his presence on the web - noticeably uncertain as to what was actually there.  Luis did not miss the opportunity to let us know how happy he would be to perform his music for functions of any kind.

Schwartz's Deli

Schwartz's Hebrew Deli on St. Laurent Street in Montreal, has been a staple of ours for over 25 years.  It's the Ivy League of "old school" -  crowded, line ups, shared tables with unknown "friends" and colourful staff from years gone by serving the best smoked meat you will find.  There is something about this place that feels like coming home, no matter what city you are from.
