Mont-Royal aux Montreal

We arrived yesterday in the afternoon in Montreal, left our things in our great apartments in the hotel (really great accomodation, but at a certain price) and went out on foot to take a look at Montreal. It is cold here, but i don't complain, it is enough to be dressed properly.

At night we met Hadi, one of our MBA colleagues at his friend's place and went out to the Seven club, on Crescent Street, where we got VIP treatment. Thanks a lot, Hadi!

Today Marc suggested we go to the Mont-Royal Park, so we took our comfortable Grand Caravan van and drove up there. The day was magnific and we had a great time in the park. The views from up there are fantastic, it mus be great to have such a nice park in the center of the city.

I decided to take a break and do some work on an assignment I still have to hand in this weekend, so I have to give it a go now. Others went to take a look at the Museum of Fine Arts, with the lights show at the Notre Dame in the old center of the town at 7 p.m..

In the evening we plan to visit a restaurant suggested by Peter, a Mannheim colleague who actually is from Montreal, Swartz's. I hope to meet a Brazilian friend then, who is studying here. She actually was my sister's good friend during college.

Well, a great weekend so far. A few pics for you. Talk to you later.
