	Montreal is a very metropolitan, clean city. We didn’t have much time here because we wanted to get Quebec City, but are favorite part of the city was the old section. It’s a lot like Europe with bustling plaza surrounding by barouche style architecture. The old section was pretty small comparatively to Quebec City so if you had to choose between the two I would recommend skipping Montreal and heading straight over to Quebec City. At this point Frank’s ankle was killing from our last 10 mile race in New York that he wasn’t much in the mood to tour the city. So we sat in the plaza at a local café and ordered a pitcher of sangria and played numerous games of chess. We played a lot of chess on our trip. Inevitably Frank would beat me miserably. Although being the determined person that I am I’ll never quite until I can beat him. Square in old town – street performers: Montreal definitely has some of the best food in all of North America probably due to the French influence. Any restaurant you walk into you simply can’t go wrong, although I do recommend going French, “when in Rome.”
