Home Again









Here I am, back from Montreal. The city is alive, vibrant, exciting and diverse — as always.


Note: most museums are closed on Mondays in Montreal! Fortunately we were able to get to the Musée des Beaux Arts yesterday where we took in several of their current exhibitions — for free. What a bargain! We also spent some time shopping along St. Catherine Street. The window displays were as great as ever, and I saw something new. Montreal now has a system of bicycle rentals where you can pick up a bike from a stand by swiping a card, drive it where you will, then leave it at another stand where you lock it in and swipe your card again to stop your rental time from accruing. It’s quick and easy and an interesting idea.
