We took a long tour around the city of Montreal today, and then ended up at the Notre-Dame Basilica, where we enjoyed Mass in French. (Well, the kids didn’t enjoy it so much, but the adults did!) The city is so different from Toronto, and I said to Jim more than once today, how it felt like Paris. With the cozy streets and row homes and everyone speaking in French around you, you can forget that you’re still in North America. And because everything is MUCH cheaper than Paris (even with the 14% in taxes) you’ll save money over going to France.

We like it.
