Bienvenue!

 Welcome to Montreal, a city of several faces. On first impressions we have: 

The super urban New York-in-miniature Montreal:

These photos are a little grey, we took them on board our Bateau-mouche brunch today. Unlimited waffles: yum, yum, yum. You get the idea, however - lots of high rise, glass fronted buildings.

Historic Montreal:

Bonjour, Queen Victoria. (She lives outside Pollack Hall, for any of my Edinburgh homies!)

French Montreal:

It is as if I'm back in Europe, cobbles and all. And I'm slowly getting to grip with the Québécois dialect. Being able to speak French, if only un peu, on a daily basis is very pleasant.

This is Notre Dame (see what I mean about how reminiscent the city is of France?)
