My Montreal Is Better Than Yours*
Once again, bloggers are having their way with Budget Travel: A.J. Kinik and Michelle Marek--who write a wonderful blog, "...an endless banquet"--show us all where to eat, shop, and play in the city that they obsess over better than anyone else.
Finally, there's no getting around the fact that in Montreal, "Winter is my homeland," as the song goes. Activity doesn't slow down in the least during our long, cold winters, and nothing gets to the essence of life in the city better than ice-skating on Parc Lafontaine's serpentine pond or Mount Royal Park's Beaver Lake, careening madly down one of Mount Royal's hills on a toboggan, or watching a pickup hockey game in one of the countless neighborhood parks.
