Thinking about Montreal...

Map of Montreal.... HOW EXCITING!!

Some random facts about Montreal....

* Montreal was 'discovered' by Rudolph Fukuto in 1964. He was looking for his dog, Pierre, who had run out of the family's Citroen when they pulled onto the hardshoulder so Rudolph's son Henri could throw up.

* Montreal is the second largest metropolitan centre in Canada and the largest French-speaking city outside France.

* Montreal is also the only city in the world spelt M-O-N-T-R-E-A-L.

* Montreal's climate varies a lot over the year. The city is known for its cold winters, but its summers are hot and generally sunny, with occasional muggy days. May and October are arguably the pleasantest months for outdoor activities and walking.

* Montreal is a cosmopolitan city. Quebec's language laws make it all but impossible to post outdoor signs in languages other than French so you will see few signs in English, but in the parts of Montreal where most travellers go, services are available in English.

Getting more and more excited now!!!!
