Montreal is one of my favorite cities. My husband has family right in the city, so our visits are frequent. While I love to see Westmount blanketed in snow at Christmastime, summer is spectacular!

| Actually, the entire city is an architectural highlight. |
 |
| Copper roofs abound, many are being refurbished to the original bronze, many have the green patina developed over hundreds of years. |

| Great shopping in the Mile End neighborhood. |

Every time we go to Montreal we discover a new neighborhood or district -- this time it was Mile End. More Vintage Shops per Mile, it should be named. Bookstores, funky coffee shops. All adjacent to tree lined streets where families grow vegetables in the front yard at the base of steep, snow efficient stairways. The variety of foods and cultures is boundless, the atmosphere exciting and international. I almost didn't want to leave for the city of Quebec.
