They have cool stuff in Montréal

On a rumor that there may be hot running water in the nearby city of Montréal, we decided to make the voyage.  A mere 1,000km (620 miles) and 12 hours later, we found ourselves in a....C I T Y ! 

Lots of cool stuff happens in Montréal.  Like it was already Spring there.  No snow shoes were required for going *anywhere* and the toilets were all indoors.

We spent most of our time in Montréal walking around.  It's such a fantastic city.  The people are friendly, the areas are different & interesting, it's a good size (about 3.5 million?).

We hung out in the library looking at photography books.


We checked out second-hand camera shops.



Visited almost every thrift shop.




Put on makeup...

...and went out dancing.
Found rad 80s childhood memorabilia.
Considered doing a photo project on subway stations... 



...but kept walking around instead.

Nature is different in cities.  But I'm happy it's there.
Antoine took hilarious photos.

We returned to This Canadian Yurt feeling sunny inside.











Roadtrippin' Canada!
 Thank you to our hosts in Montréal who graciously looked after us & let us enjoy their hot showers.  THANK YOU Jennifer & Manu-Eva for making this adventure possible.
