Last Day in Montreal

For my last full day in Montreal, I explored Parc Jean-Drapeau, wandered through the Old Port, and finished up the night with a smoked beef sandwich from Schwartz's. The poutine was so-so, but that sandwich was worth the trip - plus the trip to the nearest TD Bank branch to find a no-pesky-fee ATM. There's a reason why Schwartz's is a Montreal household name.

Montreal At Night

Even Montreal sleeps - or barely stirs - sometimes.As those who know me well (or even halfway well) know, I'm a major night owl, and one of my favorite things is to go out late at night with a good Spotify playlist and a cup of coffee (or other beverage) and stroll. 
Why not take some pictures while I'm out there?

Trip to Mont-Royal

Lured by the appeal of great skyline shots and the thrill of seeing something new, I took on Mont-Royal, Montreal's namesake and urban mountain.
Instead of hiking the whole way up and back, I took the #11 bus to the overlook point, took the walking trails to the much better overlook point at Chateau Mont-Royal, and casually hiked down.
