Welcome to Montreal!
Dynamic, funny, explosive, amazing, are just some of the adjectives that describe this great city, where the warm and fine weather have illuminated our days even more!
After several hours on our car we saw the sign for Downtown Montreal and so .......
We lost : D
Well, yes ... missing less and less time to return the car and we had not the faintest idea where we were, arriving in a square we met a police car with three policemen who not only led us to make gasoline, so we do not return the car without gasoline, but we were accompanied to the office of delivery, and also accompanying us in, explaining the reason for our delay.
They were really nice!
After thanking them very much, a really gentle employee's rental car agency took us up to 'UQUAM, the university where we stayed for as long as we stayed here, telling us a little bit of the city and what we could not really lose!
There was expecting a very nice room, nice bathroom, a kitchenette and a nice bed, very clean room.
Mostly these days we moved on foot, it's nice to walk, the streets of the city are all different with fantastic shops, cafes, churches and more!
Wandering around the city we arrived at the Centre des Sciences de Montreal, seems to be a great attraction for all ages with information and experiments about nature and technology, we do not go 'cause we wanted see a little bit of everything and the time really was not very much , but talking with some people it seemed that everyone was very happy.
As I was saying to the nice downtown streets you will find a bit of everything, Foot Locker, Gap, and my beloved surf and music stores where I love to spend some time.
A cup of coffe at "Second Cup" and pizza for dinner, how wonderful!
Rather close to the university will also find a supermarket stocked with meals ready to eat!
Many of the streets seem to be really old, fabulous local characteristic products await you!!
Perchè non vi fermate a mangiare da Olive & Gourmando?Why do not you stop to eat at Olive & Gourmando?
Probably there will be a bit of a row but it's worth, the food is delicious, the fresh air and organic products are exceptional. Among them was a very special beer, which I liked very much!
The venue will be in the Rue St Paul Ouest is open from Tuesday to Saturday from 8 to 18 except on Thursdays which is open until 22.
The Mc Gill is one of several universities in Montreal, well known, has in its history, six Nobel laureates, as well as actors and politicians.
The buildings are of Victorian era, completely immersed in the green, in summer we have really found much joy in the surrounding parks, children having fun with the animators, families and young people who spend a nice afternoon to 'open air.
This is the street on which overlooked our room 'UQUAM, cute right?
The site you can visit for some information is:
C'è un video davvero bello su You Tube fatto sulle note di " I Gotta Feeling" realizzato nel 2009, davvero divertente e vi suggerisco di andarlo a vedere
There is a really cool video on YouTube about UQUAM made on the song
"I Gotta Feeling" by 2009, really funny and I suggest you go see it
