"Montreal"
Hello Darlings,
Following a week trip to Montreal, I was visited the charming city of Trois-Rivières. The city was named such because the Saint-Maurice River, which is divided by two small islands at the river’s opening, has three mouths at the Saint Lawrence River.
Trois-Rivieres is a quaint small city about 200 kilometers from Montreal, but my experience was more about noise, crowds, and high-speed action since I was visiting to attend the Grand Prix Trois-Rivières car races held on the city streets each August.
Situated around the beautiful port, Trois-Rivières is filled with charming cafes and restaurants. Grand Prix weekend, the main des Forges street is closed to cars for a huge party. I've heard they have more than a 100,000 people walking the streets on both Friday and Saturday night on this special weekend, and I believe it.
Hello Darlings,
One of the best parts of traveling is exploring new places and seeing many new faces. On my recent trip to Montreal, Quebec, I was able to explore a lot of the different downtown areas, eat at many new restaurants, shop in some new stores, and generally had a great experience.
One of the most interesting things about Montreal – in fact, all of Quebec - is it's unique character relative to the rest of Canada. In addition to the distinct language spoken by the majority (French versus English), Montreal is very different socially. But fear not if you are planning your first Montreal trip, since it seems almost everyone working at restaurants, shops, hotels, bars, etc. all speak good english so the language issue is not a challenge.
Hello Darlings,
It is no doubt that the F1 is one of the most exclusive and indulgent event in the city of Montreal. For this one weekend, racing fans gather for the only Formula 1 North American race. The city is filled with tourists from around the world, and comes alive with their excitement.
Besides the actual races, it seems like everyone in Montreal for the Grand Prix is also competing for how many activities they can fit into 72 hours! The races take place on Gilles Villeneuve Circuit, which is located on an island about 2 miles from downtown, so it is hard to travel to and from. But it is definitely worth the trek, since I've never been to such an electric event as an F1 race.
